cities are emergent systems

civilization as we know it is largely a byproduct

50% of world population lives in cities 50% + of people live in cities and % is growing up

does IA or pervasive IA have anything to do with this?

information seeking strategies

principle of least effort

or zombie run!

the best of both worlds

gothenburg

50% expected increase in personal travel in theGothenburg region in 2005-2025Transport-related CO2 emissions should decrease by 4%in 2010 and by 75% in 2050 in respect to 1990Public transport travel should increase from 24% to35% in 2020

impacting collective transportation behavior is a complex task with a multitude of factors weighing in

better roads

better services

better information

better … mh?

these are not just different user types who havea range of well-delimited needs: these are usertypes whose needs change through time, in theshort and in the long period, and are shaped in accordance with the place they currently are

or is it a “better system”?

a seamless experience

co-modal traveling

a complex system with many channels
