About me
Carl Higgs is a Research Fellow in the Healthy Liveable Cities Lab of RMIT University's Centre for Urban Research, with an interdisciplinary background in cultural studies, spatial epidemiology, and computer science. Methods and tools Carl has developed have supported calculation and dissemination of policy-relevant spatial urban indicators for cities in Australia and internationally using open data and an open science ethos. Through linkage studies and research translation, Carl’s research aims to empower community advocates, policy makers and planners with the evidence needed to address urban inequities for healthier, more sustainable cities.
