The first event in our “X Meets Y” series on February 25 features a private tour of NYU’s Center for Urban Science + Progress. CUSP Director Steve Koonin and Roddy Schrock, Director of Residencies and Programs at Eyebeam, will discuss the potential for the tools of modern data science to observe, analyze, and model cities with the goal of helping them become more productive, livable, equitable, and resilient. We’ll discover how unintentional sensor networks, like the yellow cab fleet, and persistent time-lapse videos can show us the pulse of the city. Become a Van Alen member to attend!
