Social Networks and Urban Dynamics

Social networks are the interconnected relationships between individuals, groups, or organizations, influencing how information, behaviors, and resources flow. Urban dynamics refer to the changes and patterns within cities, such as population shifts, transportation, and land use. Together, they shape cities by affecting social interactions, neighborhood development, and economic activity. For example, strong social networks can foster community support, while urban dynamics influence how accessible neighborhoods are and how cities evolve over time. Understanding their interplay helps urban planners create more connected, resilient, and sustainable urban environments.
