Cities as Networks in Geographical Euclidean Space

Posted: December 10th, 2008 | No Comments »

A couple of videos of MIT SENSEable City Lab members. First, in the Canadian Discovery Channel describing the research focus and approach with examples of the New York Talk Exchange and CopenCycle projects. And then in Seed Salon, Steven Strogatz and Carlo Ratti discuss whether building and analyzing human networks can help us overcome the current mathematical understanding of complexity (e.g. study feedback loop as a complex system). There are still a lot of coarse grained laws of urban phenomena to be discovered, and still very little has been done in Network Theory to study networks in geographical Euclidean space.
