CE-UY 4443 Sensing the City: Methods for Urban Health Monitoring3 Credits
Considering cities as networks of people, infrastructure and the natural environment, this course introduces approaches for monitoring the function and state of wellness of the urban environment including energy, waste, air quality, land use, patterns of activity and mobility. As the world’s urban population grows equivalent to four time the population of New York City every year, the quantitative analysis of key attributes of cities and characterization of the chronological changes has become the engine for advancing urban operations and policies. We will examine methods for tracking the state of health of a city’s infrastructure, environment, the ecosystem, and its inhabitants. This is achieved by introducing the students to fundamental of sensing and data acquisition, followed by exercises and case studies with applications.
