Highways originally built to connect actually separate people at short spatial scales. We quantify this effect for the first time ever using urban social networks of the top 50 metropolitan areas of the US. pnas.org/doi/10.1073/... Image credit Karo Berghuber (@kariot.lines)

"Urban Highways Are Barriers to Social Ties" out on PNAS! The 1st large-scale measure of how highways weaken social connections between the communities they separate. This barrier effect is strong in the 50 largest US cities--especially for low-income Black communities. www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

🎉 New paper in PNAS: Urban highways are barriers to social ties www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.24089… Highways are barriers that cut opportunities for social ties. We quantify this effect by overlaying the US highway network with millions of social ties from Twitter.

Map showing a highway section in red and social ties in space crossing the highway. Wherever a tie crosses the highway, there is a cross. There are 94 crosses.
