Urban reasoning is a process that empowers and extends the urban computing's vision as well as its applications. Urban computing aims to help us understand the nature of urban phenomena and predict the future of cities. Urban reasoning aims in extending this vision with a main focus on providing insights about the reasons of the major challenges that our cities face (e.g., crowd congestions,increased network demand, air pollution, water floods, etc.). Urban reasoning relies on a multi-stage analytics process employing advanced machine learning and data mining techniques to provide deeper insights and new type of applications to various stakeholders where the initial data analytics stage(s) is applied on a city-wide scale for deriving context information while the followingstage(s) focuses on the analytics related to a certain domain challenge. The context information derived..
