  text: Neglecting the temporal variations in population distribution can lead to
    significant discrepancies in exposure estimations for disaster management, especially
    in the face of increasing natural hazards due to climate change. Effective disaster
    management necessitates a nuanced understanding of how the urban environment influences
    the temporal variations in population distribution. This study addresses this
    knowledge gap by investigating the relationship between the spatial patterns of
    urban elements and daytime-nighttime population differences across eight European
    cities. The study reveals a substantial association between urban form indicators
    and daytime-nighttime population differences. Although the findings suggest that
    there is no one-size-fits-all set of indicators for different cities, ‘closeness
    centrality’, which measures the accessibility of a specific location within the
    overall street network, is identified as a key proxy for daytime-nighttime population
    differences across all cities analysed, which can be further linked to the accuracy
    of hazard exposure estimation. These findings can contribute to enhancing urban
    resilience by offering insights into spatio-temporal population dynamics and considering
    their implications for disaster management.
