I am interested in examples of how the data revolution is already being used to drive more sustainable cities as well as ideas of new ways to leverage the data revolution for more sustainable and equitable cities. One of the main contributions of the data revolution id the creation of new data. My question is intended to ask - how such new alternative data could better inform approaches to solving the major sustainability challenges facing cities e.g. building energy inefficiency, inequitable access to waste, transport, housing, and other critical services by the poor, and excessive un-sustainable consumption by the rich. Do researchers have good examples of how alternative data from social media and data exhaust has been used to inform sustainability challenges? Thanks.
