SMART CITIES FOR ARCHITECTS AND URBAN PLANNERS: DATA GIS AND THE INTERNET OF THINGS
With smart models predicting human behaviour and integrated urban models forecasting the movement of traffic, urban planners and designers can now, more than ever, understand the impact of urban design on social and economic outcomes before they happen. Building sensors, real-time data flows and increasingly sophisticated building management systems tell us more than ever before about the way that people behave in spaces. The internet of things will impact both residential developments and commercial projects as we see sophisticated building management systems and remote controlled appliances become more common.
