Nice to see our article on transit infrastructure and value capture with @arpitrage@UrbanIntelLab come out in JUE. Timely too. Govt. announced expansion of the Q train at a cost of $6 billion. Our research says: finance at least some of it with targeted property taxes.
Our recent paper looks at investment returns to building energy retrofits. Attractive returns (~20% IRR) and reasonable energy savings (~5%-10%/year) are not sufficient to motivate many building owners to invest. https://t.co/4aEGBDQzWK @NYUMarron@NYU_CUSP@BerkeleyLab
For the first time, Phase 4 of #PHLRentAssist includes aid for utilities. Read about the burden energy-inefficient housing places on residents in @UrbanIntelLab, @VrainBK & Bartosz Bonczak's @APA_Planning journal article https://t.co/Ajg8sOxnYt
A new study by @UrbanIntelLab and @NYUMarron uses anonymized mobile phone data for Houston, Texas during Hurricane Harvey in 2017 and shows how mobility behavior exposes neighborhood disparities in resilience capacity and recovery

In New York, neighborhood changes in exposure density—a measure of activity associated with increased risk of exposure to infected individuals—in response to a stay-at-home order were linked with #COVID19 case, fatality, and test positivity rates. In PNAS: https://t.co/nuJllRqeHs
Director of Civic Analytics, Constantine Kontokosta, is quoted: “The computing challenges are solvable,” he notes. “(T)he real uncertainty lies with how to integrate data-driven processes into public sector management.” @UrbanIntelLab
The are challenges when studying a fast-moving pandemic based on static measures, such as residential density, that are only updated periodically, says Constantine Kontokosta (@UrbanIntelLab), an urban planning researcher at NYU.

Using data from @nycgov's local law 87, @UrbanIntelLab and colleagues show that mandatory building audits lead to some energy savings of approximately –2.5% for multifamily residential buildings and –4.9% for office buildings https://t.co/6B7GThji8L

🚨New working paper!🚨
Joint work with @SVNieuwerburgh and @UrbanIntelLab: we find 1) Second Ave Subway expansion led to large commuting gains, 2) These were priced in real estate markets which went up, and 3) Gov property taxes recoup a fraction of this value increase

NYC subway expansion created $7 billion in real estate value and shortened subway commutes significantly. While private gains exceeded the cost, the government's share of the gains did not, from @arpitrage, @SVNieuwerburgh, and Constantine Kontokosta https://t.co/bUoO7GfCkX
