Biography

Hilton Córdoba is an urban-transport geographer interested in the spatial organization, association, and interaction of people and their socioeconomic activities. He uses spatial concepts and geographic information systems in both, qualitative and quantitative methodologies to examine the spatial patterns and structures created by human processes. His work has focused in two areas: on the urban front, he has sought to measure the settlement patterns, demographic transitions, and economic activity of ethnic communities in the United States to better understand their formation processes and changes. On the transportation side, he has concentrated on the impact that economic policies have had on transportation networks, passenger accessibility, and connectivity of places.
