Whether a residential compound is spatially open or enclosed affects mobility, access to public services, and equity, yet studies of Chinese fengbi xiaoqu remain largely qualitative or small-scale, limiting reproducible city-scale analysis...

UST-GNN: A unified spatial-topological graph neural network framework for urban analytics demonstrated through a case study on urban health prediction

UST-GNN is presented, a unified spatial--topological graph neural network framework that integrates neighbourhood connectivity, heterogeneous urban features, and positional/locational embeddings into a single representation and provides a unified GeoAI analytical pipeline that can be embedded into urban digital twin wo...
