41. 郭俊, Estella Guo | Sep 17th, 2010 The real-time city is now real! The increasing deployment of sensors and hand-held electronics in recent years is allowing a new approach to the study of the built environment. The way we describe and understand cities is being radically transformed - alongside the tools we use to design them and impact on their physical structure. Studying these changes from a critical point of view and anticipating them is the goal of the SENSEable City Laboratory, a new research initiative at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. http://senseable.mit.edu/ 《信息设计》

In an information age, telecommunications such as the Internet and the telephone bind people across space by eviscerating the constraints of distance. To reveal the relationships that New Yorkers have with the rest of the world, New York Talk Exchange asks: How does the city of New York connect to other cities? With which cities does New York have the strongest ties and how do these relationships shift with time? How does the rest of the world reach into the neighborhoods of New York? http://senseable.mit.edu/nyte/ 《信息设计》
44. 郭俊, Estella Guo | Sep 17th, 2010 2008New York Talk Exchange Quotations “Global talk happens largely among those at the top of the economy and at its lower end. This point is one of the striking pieces of evidence coming out of the data analyzed here. The vast middle layers of our society are far less global; the middle talks mostly nationally and locally…” SaskiaSassen “What we’re seeing with these images created by MIT’s senseable city lab is something much more complex. A city with a center, but few borders. A city with a hinterland inscribed in cyberspace.” Anthony M. Townsend and Mitchell L. Moss “The telecommunications traffic is measured at a high level in the global network flow. No information about individuals is collected at any point in the process.” KristianKloeckl “The New York Talk Exchange uncovers the pulse, rhythm and reach of the ever-growing process of globalization and highlights New York City's preeminent role in the global network of cities.” Francisca Rojas “We are interested in visualizing and exploring the connections that New York entertains with the rest of the world, how they change over the course of a day, and how the city's neighborhoods differ from each other by maintaining special and distinct relationships with particular cities and countries. “ KristianKloeckl “The AT&T and BT data comparison hints at an interesting parallel: in an age of globalization, perhaps London's relationship to Europe is analogous to what is conventionally believed to be New York's relationship to the whole of the United States. The 'continent' may be closer to London than the British believe.” Carlo Ratti “Using city-level telecom data highlights the increasing importance of connections between cities (as opposed to countries) in this globalized information age. Urban theorists contend that transnational activities are oblivious to national boundaries and that world cities are the anchors of globalization. New York Talk Exchange explores this assertion by making apparent the intangible flows of information between New York and cities around the world.” Francisca Rojas “In analyzing the voice call data, it was at first surprising to see how Guyana, a country with 750,000 inhabitants had two major cities (Georgetown and New Amsterdam) show up among the top 12 ranking cities for calls to and from Queens. Cross linking this information with that of the latest NYC census, we found that there are more than 130,000 Guyanese-born residents in NYC out of which more than half do in fact live in Queens.” KristianKloeckl “Though this project emphasizes global connections, more than 80% of all phone connections we consider for the New York Talk Exchange project remain within the boundries of the United States.” Francesco Calabrese 《信息设计》
