Faculty Architecture and The Built Environment Department Architectural Engineering +Technology Date 2013-12-01 Abstract The distribution of sensor networks throughout the contemporary urban environment together with advances in mobile and web-related technologies, create new opportunities for practice and research in Urbanism. Digitally-driven systems and devices provide immense amounts of real-time data streams, which reflect city dynamics. In turn, this increasing availability of real-time information is capable of providing the urban designers/planners with a highly detailed and dynamic picture of the urban fabric. Part and parcel to this new dimension of reality, the discourse surrounding Smart Cities is gaining in popularity recently. Yet, digital ubiquity - as a 'by-product' of the post-industrial age - is not the sole motivating factor. There are also global phenomena, fueled by the increasing urban populations, along with the socio-economical and environmental repercussions they bring about, that instigate it.
