Urban Energy

For the first time in history, more than half of the world’s population lives in urban areas; in just a few more decades, the world's population will exceed 9 billion, 70 percent of whom will live in cities. Enabling those cities to deliver services effectively, efficiently, and sustainably while keeping their citizens safe, healthy, prosperous, and well-informed will be among the most important undertakings in this century.  I will review how work on data acquisition, integration and analysis at NYU’s  Center for Urban Science and Progress is leading to a better understanding (and hence improvement) of  urban systems, with a particular focus on energy and its impacts on the urban environment.  Novel analyses of persistent synoptic imagery will be an important part of the story.  

Host:  David Hammer, Electrical and Computer Engineering
