THINK exhibit in New York
More and more big cooperations understood the financial importance of urban planning. Until now the main actors seem to be GE, Audi, BMW and IBM who are trying to show the potential of their fields of business for better cities in the future. The latter even dedicated a whole exhibition to the topic of SMART CITIES.
In case you are in New York have a look. The show is still on until the 23rd of October. If you have the possibility to visit the exhibition please post some information and images!
Great project. I saw this at an exhibition at the Centre Pompidou in Paris called DREAMLANDS. The vision of Walt Disney for EPCOT was not the trivial thing we know today but he was dreaming of a city for the future!
Have a look at the whole presentation. It´s even worth it to see it from a point of view on how to present a project also.

Eric Fischer is using GPS tagging data from both flickr and picassa in order to create this amazing mapping project called: The Geotaggers´ World Atlas.
Maps based on social media services seem to be a new and powerful tool for architects and urban planners to analyze the structure of cities. It is interesting that the data shown is not only representing the build structure but also the usage of spaces (public and private). Points of interest can be either architectural based (landmark buildings, tourist attractions) or content based (concerts, exhibitions).
The differences between the three cities shown above and below are very obvious: Moscow the concentric city with a tale to the South-West and several satellites; Berlin the poly-centric city with a strong East-West orientation.
Hope to see some of this tools developed as open-source.
