CityNet: A Comprehensive Multi-Modal Urban Dataset for Advanced Research in Urban Computing
Zhengfei Zheng, Xu Geng, Hai Yang
Data-driven approaches have emerged as a popular tool for addressing challenges in urban computing. However, current research efforts have primarily focused on limited data sources, which fail to capture the complexity of urban data arising from multiple entities and their interconnections. Therefore, a comprehensive and multifaceted dataset is required to enable more extensive studies in urban computing. In this paper, we present CityNet, a multi-modal urban dataset that incorporates various data, including taxi trajectory, traffic speed, point of interest (POI), road network, wind, rain, temperature, and more, from seven cities. We categorize this comprehensive data into three streams: mobility data, geographical data, and meteorological data. We begin by detailing the generation process and basic properties of CityNet. Additionally, we conduct extensive data mining and machine learning experiments, including spatio-temporal predictions, transfer learning, and reinforcement learning, to facilitate the use of CityNet. Our experimental results provide benchmarks for various tasks and methods, and also reveal internal correlations among cities and tasks within CityNet that can be leveraged to improve spatiotemporal forecasting performance. Based on our benchmarking results and the correlations uncovered, we believe that CityNet can significantly contribute to the field of urban computing by enabling research on advanced topics.

Code
Syntology Ran 1 of 5 code samples harvested from 1 repository linked to this paper; 4 have no recorded run. Of those that ran: 1 ran · our draft was wrong.
By repository: official repository: 5 samples from 1 repository, 1 ran. The run record, sample by sample. “Ran” means executed on a synthesized input, not that the code is correct or reproduces the paper.
Repository list and official/mentioned flags are the archive's, frozen 2025-07-28. Reachability, where shown, is from one Syntology probe window (2026-09-16 to 2026-09-18); repositories not probed show nothing. GitHub stars are not tracked.
Code Syntology ran Syntology
5 samples harvested; 1 ran; 0 honoured the contract we drafted; 4 have no recorded run. Read from Syntology's graph 2026-09-25; that is when this build read the record, not when the samples ran.
Licence: 5 of the 5 samples are pointer only, meaning Syntology does not serve that copy's text. This page shows no code text for any sample; each one links to its file in the repository.
Harvested from citynet-at-git/Citynet-phase1. “Ran” means the sample executed on a synthesized input. It does not mean the output is correct, and nothing here reproduces the paper's results. “Honoured” and “violated” refer to a contract Syntology drafted from the code itself; “our draft was wrong” and “fixture could not drive it” are failures of Syntology's instrument, not of the code.
Each sample ends with its code_sha256, Syntology's identity for that exact code. An agent fetches the stored sample with Syntology's MCP tool get_code(code_sha256="…") (how to connect); click an identity to copy that call.
Repository labels, per sample. official repository: The archive marks this repository official for the paper. named in the paper: The archive records that the paper mentions this repository; it is not marked official. community (archive-listed): In the archive's code links for this paper, not marked official and not recorded as mentioned in the paper. found in paper text by Syntology: Syntology found this repository in the paper's own text; whether it is the authors' implementation is not asserted. community: Not in the archive's code links for this paper; a community repository Syntology harvested. Samples from a repository marked official are listed first. Licence labels name the repository's licence as recorded at harvest. “Pointer only” means Syntology does not serve that copy's text, for one of four reasons: no licence file was found; the licence was not identified; the licence is recorded as permissive but that copy's record is not marked cleared; or the licence is outside the permissive list Syntology serves text under (MIT, Apache-2.0, BSD and similar). Some licences outside that list permit redistribution, such as WTFPL, and GPL-3.0 under its conditions; they are simply not on the list. Hover a licence label for the reason. File links open the file on GitHub at the default branch, which may have changed since the harvest.
