I was a computer scientist and researcher at the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory, and later held senior technical leadership positions in the Obama Administration and the Bill de Blasio Administration in New York City. Currently, as the Director of Urban Analytics at Esri. I am taking all the best results from academic research and applying them to real-world settings.
With a high degree of practicality
Toward solving complex problems in urban environments. From this perspective, urban analytics is the application of processes and strategies that use location intelligence in cities and urban environments so that citizens and government officials can make informed choices and achieve the outcomes they want. Urban analytics applied to urban challenges should.
Facilitate the efficient execution
Drive quantitative analysis of city operations Identify methods to use emerging urban datasets to build a city “digital twin” Promote transparency in the use of data and algorithms to impact people’s daily lives There is a core shift in botim database urban analytics from an academic environment to a city operational environment. Focus on new data streams and research shift to applying methods, best practices, and technologies to current and new data to solve operational problems.
As shown in the figure below,
Essentially, we leverage the great potential clients with essential information local research that is bei. Ing done in academia in identifying emerging datasets and computing technology research and ide. Intify mechanisms to apply them to urban environments. This makes this work successful in dri. Iving policy development and improving the quality of life for people who live, work, and play in th. Iese urban environments.
Academia plays a critical and extremely
Rritical role in driving the latest advances in urban ana. Ilytics. But the goal of urban analytics is to help make cities safer, smarter, cleaner, healthier, more equi. Itable. Sustainable and economically vibrant, so that all who live and rich data strive in them can benefit.
