The universal visitation law of human mobility
Human mobility impacts many aspects of a city, from its spatial structure 1, 2, 3 to its
response to an epidemic 4, 5, 6, 7. It is also ultimately key to social interactions 8, innovation
9, 10 and productivity 11. However, our quantitative understanding of the aggregate
movements of individuals remains incomplete. Existing models—such as the gravity law 12,
13 or the radiation model 14—concentrate on the purely spatial dependence of mobility
flows and do not capture the varying frequencies of recurrent visits to the same locations …
