——— the living city by Anil Bawa-Vacia———-
- last fm
- analyze cities
- mostly invisible – physical networks there also made up of flows and interactions, of goods and peoples
- where and how to visualize the city?
interaction
- foursquare mapping of NY city
- walkable cell – 7 minutes of walking – the amount of logs in a couple of months. the city as used, not as planned.
- how walkability is important for our understanding of our cities
- how demographic uses a city (e.g. smartphone – users)
- urbanism via a quantitative turn (big data turn
- cities feel fragmented if you cant walk from a to b
boundaries
- invisible boundaries
- national scale
- MIT sensible city lab
- communicational turns – many policy boundaries
- mobile phone data of the UK – very nice! communcaion boundaries analytical and visualization task
flows
- digital traces that we leave
- a flowprint is shown
- complexity science
- you get a sense here of the complexity; you need microscopes – see the city as one thing
- flowprint prototype made in Processing
- london oyster network visualized (really nice visuals)
- construct the routes that people took
- if you these trips together, you get a bigger picture – big data again (2 million samples)
- also, a bike-chart is shown – bike flows
- a relational-space development chart is shown
- result: a phase-space
- complex and knowable but not predictable
