The lab explores the structure of cities and the mechanisms of land transactions using spatial data.
AboutAbout the lab
Understanding cities and human behavior through spatial data.
The Kobayashi Lab uses spatial data as its foundation to study the structure of cities and the behavior of the people who live in them toward space.
The lab believes that understanding the mechanisms behind building and using architecture and roads, and sometimes trading them, is essential for designing better urban spaces and for sustainable urban planning.
Working across building theoretical frameworks, empirical analysis, and historical narrative, the lab conducts research that is useful for urban and spatial design.
Example themes include empirical analysis of transfers of real estate ownership, market design for land sales, and building a quantitative economic history of cities using spatial information.
Key terms
- Spatial data
- Data linked to information about places and locations. In this lab, it is the basis for studying the structure of cities and human behavior
- Mathematical model
- A representation of how a phenomenon works, expressed in mathematical equations. In this lab, it is built to describe land transactions
- Market design
- Constructing the rules and mechanisms of transactions. In this lab, it is applied to land sales
ResearchResearch themes
A city is the sum of human behavior and is as complex as a living organism. Using spatial data as its foundation, the lab works across building theoretical frameworks, empirical analysis, and historical narrative, and aims to clarify the structure of cities and people's behavior toward space.
