This federal Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program, seeks to investigate transit-induced commercial and residential gentrification and displacement through a novel integration of historical business and household microdata with street-view imagery and online data. The $396,600 award to North Carolina State University, made on August 15, 2024, will develop advanced AI techniques and tools to analyze...
This two-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program will fund research on the impacts of "super-gentrification" processes on neighborhood composition. The $125,773 award to Pratt Institute will support analysis of where and how the intensification of gentrification beyond already gentrified neighborhoods has influenced racial and socioeconomic change across cities from 1990 to 2020. The research will combine geographic...
This $425,726 Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program. The grant supports a study to examine the displacement of local community organizations in neighborhoods undergoing gentrification across the United States. The research will digitize and geocode historical and contemporary data on the locations of hundreds of thousands of community organizations from a comprehensive guidebook. This will...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) provides $1,499,981 to Villanova University to develop innovative real-time monitoring and AI-driven models to support sustainable management of green stormwater infrastructure (GSI) systems in urban environments. The project aims to integrate engineering, computer science, urban planning, and social science to enable effective, accurate, and culturally responsive GSI operations. A sub-award of...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Directorate for Engineering (CFDA 47.041) supports a multi-year, $100,000 research project titled "SAI: Healthy and Equitable Public Spaces - Strengthening American Infrastructure." The project aims to identify features of urban public spaces that promote psychological restoration and well-being, and to develop evidence-based design standards for creating healthier and more equitable public spaces. The research team...
This $149,305 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.070) will support planning activities at Villanova University to develop a roadmap for smart, sustainable, and equitable green stormwater systems in urban communities.

This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Directorate for Engineering (CFDA 47.041) will support collaborative research at Drexel University to evaluate and predict the relationship between sustainable urban design initiatives and gentrification processes in the city of Philadelphia. The $225,000 award, effective from July 15, 2023 to June 30, 2026, will fund the development of artificial intelligence computer vision methods and machine learning models to identify indicators of "green gentrification" from Google Street View imagery and sociodemographic data. The goal is to quantify how urban sustainability programs like green space development, transit improvements, and energy efficiency retrofits impact neighborhood gentrification and displacement, in order to inform more equitable sustainability policies and programs. The research will produce tools that urban policymakers and planners can use to analyze, predict, and mitigate the negative consequences of sustainable development initiatives.
