Harnessing advancements in city information modeling (CIM), this PhD research effort is building data visualizations and digital twins to study the economic, demographic, and spatial patterns of Milwaukee’s inner core housing submarkets. The research focuses on the capital abandonment of these markets with special attention to their investment-disinvestment cycles, invasion-succession cycles, and typo-morphology of their built environments.
