Data Reloaded. Meet the MIT Media Lab

Dealing with cities means dealing with complex mechanisms and unexpected changes of scenery: the global challenges facing the urban world will be increasingly difficult to ignore. We need to be prepared and make use now of the potential that new technologies make available to us.

The MIT Media Lab’s City Science is especially concerned to address these challenges, with a special focus on data urbanism: how will the cities of the future function? How can we use data analysis to produce positive impacts in urban policies?

Markus ElKatsha, a member of the team formed within the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, offers us his authoritative point of view to get to the heart of the concept of the interconnected city. A highly contemporary research work in which data become tools with a decisive social and political role. At Utopian Hours 2022 insights, suggestions and strategic visions from one of the world’s most cutting-edge research centres.
