Urban Data Sources NYU CUSP, “The Promise of Urban Informatics.” Organic data flows Sensors Opportunities for “novel” sensor technologies • Administrative records (census, permits, …) • Transactions (sales, communications, …) • Operational (traffic, transit, utilities, health system, …) • New and social media (Twitter feeds, blog posts, Facebook, …) • Personal (location, activity, physiological) • Fixed in situ sensors • Crowd sourcing (mobile phones, …) • Choke points (people, vehicles) • Visible, infrared and spectral imagery • RADAR, LIDAR • Gravity and magnetic • Seismic, acoustic • Ionizing radiation, biological, chemical
7. What can cities do with the data? Optimize operations traffic flow, utility loads, services delivery, … Monitor infrastructure conditions bridges, potholes, leaks, … Infrastructure planning zoning, public transit, utilities Improve regulatory compliance (“nudges”, efficient enforcement) Public health Nutrition, epidemiology, environmental impacts Abnormal conditions Hazard detection, emergency management Data-driven formulation of data driven policies and investments Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program, road pricing and congestion charging, … Better inform the citizenry Enhance economic performance and competitiveness NYU CUSP, “The Promise of Urban Informatics.”
