UrbanCCD seeks to understand cities in a new way, ultimately leading to better tools and resources for city designers, decision-Makers, and residents. To this end, urbanccd brings scientists and students from diverse disciplines together with government agencies, organizations, and individual residents to explore opportunities for bringing technology, computer and computational science, and mathematics to bear on understanding the multi-dimensional complexity of cities.
Our Array of Things urban sensing network “instruments the city” by placing multi-sensor nodes throughout neighborhoods, collecting high-resolution data about the environment, infrastructure, and life of the city. Data collected by these sensors is open and free to researchers, government agencies, and the public.
