Individual Assignment

Make sure to read one (or more) of the following papers by Adam:

• The PNAS street-network sprawl paper (https://www.pnas.org/content/117/4/1941) is the most elaborate and gets into OSM and street connectivity metrics
• The parking paper (https://authors.elsevier.com/a/1bvYg,M0mRH3NY) is a nice example of dealing with GPS data
• The street width paper (link-requires password) is still a draft, and is simpler in terms of the data science angles but might be more accessible.

Write a one paragraph reaction to the article, and come up with one or two questions for the author. Be prepared to ask your question next week.
