NYC Waterfalls: How Real-Time Cellphone Data Can Impact Local Economies
NY Times (http://www.nytimes.com)
This is a review of the NYC Waterfalls project -- a joint work between the MIT SENSEable City Lab and AT&T Labs Research -- for the city of New York. NYC Waterfalls analyzed how real-time cellphone data of tourists visiting an art exhibit, four man-made waterfalls hosted around New York City from June to October 2008, could impact local economies. The research side of NY Waterfalls involved mapping the distribution of visitors to the exhibit and revealing where they took photos and communicated with their mobile phones. The analysis of digital footprints can help a city to understand the behavior of tourists, who have a large impact on the local economy, and can also be useful for urban planning.
