Urbanism on Track
Application of tracking technologies in urbanism
Tracking technologies such as GPS, mobile phone tracking, video and RFID monitoring are rapidly becoming part of daily life. Technological progress offers huge possibilities for studying human activity patterns in time and space in new ways. Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) held - an international expert meeting in early 2007 to investigate the current and future possibilities and limitations of the application of tracking technologies in urban design and spatial planning.
Since then, this type of research has taken a flight. This webpage demonstrates the work by TUDelft in this field and links to recent developments elsewhere.
