Did you know that people’s perception of the safety and class of a neighborhood is significantly associated with homicide rates?Urban Analytics focuses on data-driven analyses of economic activity, urban perception, human behavior, mobility patterns, and resource consumption to inform the city design process.
Parametric urban design tools and computer simulations will enable the creation of rapid prototyping tools for the placement of mobility nodes, street typologies, and resource allocation.
Targeted interventions for existing cities and phasing strategies for the development of new cities will be generated in an evidence-based fashion, influenced by the findings of living laboratory experiments, and sophisticated data analysis.
