World database of large urban areas, 1950-2050 - Nordpil
february 2010 by vielmetti
We are happy to share data that we prepared for a project earlier in 2009. Using the data request service provided by the UN Population Division, we have assembled and georeferenced the data from the World Urbanization Prospects, 2007 revision. This database represents the historic, current and future estimates and projections with number of inhabitants for the world's largest urban areas from 1950-2050. The data covers cities and other urban areas with more than 750,000 people.

Development of a Methodology to Measure Mobility in Urban Transportation Corridors
december 2008 by vielmetti
The objective of this study is to develop a methodology to measure mobility in urban transportation corridors to support project level decision making. Transportation agencies struggle with measuring mobility, and measures are very seldom multimodal. Both VTrans 2025 and VDOT’s FY08 Business Plan stress the importance of multimodal mobility measures, yet measures developed by VDOT to date are for automobile travel and do not include other modes (e.g., transit, pedestrians, or bicycles). The proposed research will first measure the mobility choices that are currently available in a particular corridor; i.e., it will identify the potential in the corridor for multimodal mobility. This can then serve as a baseline for further analysis and for the identification of ways to increase multimodal mobility in the corridor. The project’s scope will be limited to the mobility of people in an urban corridor rather than freight.

New Mobilities: Ce-more about what's happening in the mobile world
december 2008 by vielmetti
The Centre for Mobilties Research (CeMoRe) studies and researches the newly emerging interdisciplinary field of 'mobilities'. The concept of 'mobilities' encompasses both the large-scale movements of people, objects, capital, and information across the world, as well as the more local processes of daily transportation, movement through public space, and the travel of material things within everyday life.

Placemaking Pays Off | Project for Public Spaces (PPS)
november 2008 by vielmetti
An estimated 50,000 people don ice skates each winter, and more than a million visitors enjoy the park throughout the year. Workers from nearby local office buildings frequent Campus Martius, but the wide range of activities also bring in people from Detroit’s suburbs—some of whom haven’t ventured downtown in years. Bob Gregory, President of Detroit 300 Conservancy, says, “The quality of the space attracts everyone from rich to poor. The park has delivered on its promise to be a gathering spot for everybody.”

QUT | ePrints Archive - Handbook of Research on Urban Informatics: The Practice and Promise of the Real-Time City
november 2008 by vielmetti
I hope that this book will stimulate your mental metabolism with a rich and multi-faceted degustation menu. Sampling the 'dishes' prepared for this urban smorgasbord will take you on a tour de force covering a great range of timely and significant topics and issues such as sustainability, digital identity, surveillance, privacy, access, environmental impact, activism, participatory planning, and community engagement. The book exposes research accounts which seek to convey an appreciation for local differences, for the empowerment of people and for the human-centred design of urban technology. Both contributors and coverage are international. They are not limited to cases based in Europe and America only. Rather, I purposefully sourced chapters covering Asia, Africa and Australia by a most engaging and prolific group of authors not afraid of presenting challenging and controversial ideas.

The curator of VISUALIZAR, José Luis de Vincente opened the seminar with an expansive overview of urban informatics: "Urban space is dynamic information... We've seen this in Calvino, the SI, Georges Perec - the secret lives of people and invisible cities"
Key questions: What is the role of networks and data structures in the city today? How can we use them to alter our perception of the city?
Key points: Visualization is a narrative medium. The crowd is a social and cultural object. Visualization can be realized as soft architecture.

Social melting pots foster technological innovation - tech - 14 October 2008 - New Scientist Tech
october 2008 by vielmetti
Now Samuel Arbesman and colleagues at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, have developed computer models of social networking which show that the sheer size of larger cities generates disproportionately more connections between people with very different personalities and backgrounds. Such bonds tend to foster innovation as they link people with complementary skills, they say.
