This document discusses using user-generated content to map how different groups use public spaces in cities. It proposes collecting data like geo-located social media posts, photos and blogs to identify concentrations of different ethnic or language groups and how they interact across a city. The goal is to build maps showing spatial and temporal patterns to help cities better understand citizens' needs and evaluate policies from multiple perspectives based on research analyzing this real-time, crowdsourced urban data.
