The article discusses how cities are becoming unbalanced due to rapid urbanization, leading to issues like traffic and pollution. The researchers used a model called Network–Activity–Human to study urban structure in Beijing, focusing on Transit-Oriented Development (TOD). They found that the city center is busy but imbalanced, while the outskirts have potential for development. The study shows that different parts of the city have different strengths and weaknesses, which can help with better urban planning.
