Hilton Córdoba is a human geographer specializing in the urban and transportation subfields. His urban research seeks to understand how neighborhoods change by analyzing their demographic transitions, residential patterns, and economic activities. On the transportation side, his work has concentrated on analyzing the impact that policies have on the structure of transportation networks, mobility of people, connectivity of places, flow of resources, and access to goods and services. In both areas of research, he employs spatial concepts through quantitative and qualitative methodologies, as well as geographic information tools and techniques (GIS).
