contents Urban analytics utilizes extensive datasets with diverse urban information to simulate, predict trends, and uncover complex patterns within cities. While these data enables advanced analysis, it also presents challenges due to its granularity, heterogeneity, and multimodality. To address these challenges, visual analytics tools have been developed to support the exploration of latent representations of fused heterogeneous and multimodal data, discretized at a street-level of detail. However, visualization-assisted tools seldom explore the extent to which fused data can offer deeper insights than examining each data source independently within an integrated visualization framework. In this work, we developed a visualization-assisted framework to analyze whether fused latent data representations are more effective than separate representations in uncovering patterns from dynamic and static urban data. The analysis reveals that combined latent representations produce more structured patterns, while separate ones are useful in particular cases.
