Song, Y. (author), de Jong, W.M. (author), Stead, D. (author)China is often viewed as an emerging experimental base for transit-oriented development (TOD) practices because of its rapid urban growth and development of mass transit networks. The implementation of TOD can be heavily influenced by institutional barriers to urban growth. However, some newly emerging types of TOD practice allow planners and...journal article 2021

de Jong, Richard J. (author), de Wit, Jacco J.M. (author), Uysal, Faruk (author)In the defence and security domain, camera systems are widely used for surveillance. The major advantage of using camera systems for surveillance is that they provide high‐resolution imagery, which is easy to interpret. However, the use of camera systems and optical imagery has some drawbacks, especially for application in the military domain....journal article 2021

Liang, Danni (author), de Jong, Martin (author), Schraven, D.F.J. (author), Wang, Lili (author)Many local governments engaging in sustainable urban development also have a growing interest in becoming inclusive too, brand themselves as such and develop policies to become inclusive cities. However, knowing what exactly this entails and how it can be achieved is not always quite straightforward and requires thorough theoretical and...journal article 2021
