Urban SDKBuilding Smart Cities with Geospatial AI Geospatial AI is at the heart of building smart, sustainable cities. By integrating AI with location-based data, cities can optimize traffic, manage resources efficiently, and improve the overall quality of life. From reducing energy consumption to enhancing safety, Geospatial AI is the key to a brighter urban future. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/GeospatialAI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GeospatialAI</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/SmartCities" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SmartCities</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/UrbanTech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#UrbanTech</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Sustainability" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Sustainability</a> <a href="https://www.urbansdk.com/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.urbansdk.com/</a>

Kol TregaskesMinority R|eport is Real? AI Predicts Crime Before It HappensA new AI algorithm can predict crimes up to a week in advance with 90% accuracy, based on patterns found in historical crime data. The model focuses on urban areas, not individuals, and helps law enforcement optimise response strategies. <a href="https://wired.me/technology/ai-can-now-predict-crime-before-it-happens/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://wired.me/technology/ai-can-now-predict-crime-before-it-happens/</a><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AI</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/CrimePrevention" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CrimePrevention</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/UrbanTech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#UrbanTech</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/PredictiveAnalytics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PredictiveAnalytics</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/LawEnforcement" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LawEnforcement</a>

JackIn a <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/networkscience" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#networkscience</a> class this semester specifically focused on urban contexts... only our second week in and we are discussing closeness/betweeness centrality, edge betweeness, and how all of this relates to transportation networks. Very broad, tough to grasp concepts for a beginner like me, but a real world example of edge weight regarding roads before and after floods made it all click for me.

JackAn aspect of <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/UrbanTech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#UrbanTech</a> that I am interested in exploring is how to utilize modern <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/data" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#data</a> /#geospatial analysis, <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/transportation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#transportation</a> tech and communication methods to improve <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/wildfire" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#wildfire</a> evacuations. I hate the "evacuation routes" NIMBY talking point, how can we use tech to better utilize existing physical infrastructure? Here is an example of physical infra crumbling when it is most needed... Ruidoso, NM sandwiched between two fires with only one way to get out.Original post: <a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/@ai6yr" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@ai6yr</a>

JackJust finished "A City Is Not a Computer: Other Urban Intelligences" by Shannon Mattern ( <a href="https://saturation.social/@shannonmattern" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@shannonmattern</a> ) and WOW, it was fantastic. A must read for any urbanist in the 21st century. The entire book is so engaging and current, but my favorite section was "3. Public Knowledge", which poses questions/ideas about public data, the role of libraries in the 2020's, and more. The pages are now FILLED with notes and annotations, I see myself referencing this constantly in the future. <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/UrbanTech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#UrbanTech</a>

Jan AdriaenssensE-bike charging infrastructure done right.📍: Zierikzee, The Netherlands <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/PublicTechnology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PublicTechnology</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/UrbanMobility" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#UrbanMobility</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/UrbanTech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#UrbanTech</a>

Jan Adriaenssens<a href="https://zirk.us/@JamesGleick" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@JamesGleick</a> These chargers are common here (Belgium), indeed. Sometimes on the pavement (👎🏻) sometimes on the parking spot itself (👍🏻). But downside to not concentrate chargers in e-stations, is that these (‘parking’) spaces cannot be permanently/temporarily used for more social purposes, like ‘parklets’. This too is a movement that’s gaining strength in Europe. The struggle for the public domain (here the curbside) goes on.<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Curbside" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Curbside</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/UrbanMobility" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#UrbanMobility</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/PublicTechnology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PublicTechnology</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/UrbanTech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#UrbanTech</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Parklet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Parklet</a>

Jan AdriaenssensAls het tijdperk van de analoge fiets voorbij is, en we meer en meer elektrisch gaan rijden, dan moeten we onze stedelijke, gemeentelijke en landelijke infrastructuur daar dringend op gaan aanpassen. Die infrastructuur gaat niet enkel om betere fietspaden, maar evenzeer om (vlotte, veilige, toegankelijke,…) laadpunten 🔌 en fietsparkeerplaatsen 🅿️.<a href="https://www.gva.be/cnt/dmf20230105_95193886" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.gva.be/cnt/dmf20230105_95193886</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/UrbanTech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#UrbanTech</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/PublicTechnology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PublicTechnology</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/UrbanMobility" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#UrbanMobility</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/BewoondeKom" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BewoondeKom</a>

Jan Adriaenssens<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/MyHashtags" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MyHashtags</a>Serendipity in Mastodon strongly depends on hashtags, I’d like to see people share their frequently used or actively followed hashtags.<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/PublicTechnology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PublicTechnology</a> The use of technology in the public space / realm.<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/UrbanMobility" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#UrbanMobility</a> How cities (want to) deal with mobility.<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/BikeBenchTree" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BikeBenchTree</a> Three necessary urban ingredients.<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/UglyTech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#UglyTech</a> Too much of (public) technology is downright ugly.<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/UrbanTech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#UrbanTech</a> A visible form of public technology.<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/BewoondeKom" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BewoondeKom</a> Hoe de bebouwde kom eigenlijk zou moeten heten.

Jan Adriaenssens<a href="https://mastodon.social/@verbeeld" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@verbeeld</a> Another example of an acoustic traffic signal (“rateltikker”) with a relief of the street layout for blind people.Bidirectional bike path first, then two car lanes from the left, next one car lane from the right, and finally a bike lane from the right.This is not a beg button, the sign explains: “This push button gives an audible signal for the blind. – The pedestrian lights also work without pressing the push button.”<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/UrbanTech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#UrbanTech</a> 🚦

Jan AdriaenssensAn omnipresent and confusing example of <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/PublicTechnology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PublicTechnology</a> from Flanders, Belgium.On the left we have an acoustic traffic signal (“rateltikker”) for blind people, with the street layout in relief (two car lanes from the left, then one tram track from the left and one tram track from the right).On the right we have our classical beg button, to request green 🚦 for pedestrians.Too many people push the rateltikker to request green, especially when there is no beg button present.<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/UrbanTech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#UrbanTech</a>
