Synthetic cities - with Myrna Bittner


Listen Later

Planning cities requires a lot of data. That data can be difficult to penetrate, and that’s where synthetic cities come in. Myrna Bittner and RWI Synthetics create complex visual models of cities that are used to experiment and model what might happen with new projects like transit, housing or even if every resident owned a guinea pig. If you’ve ever played SimCity you’ve probably got a pretty strong image in your head right now… it’s like that, but much more complex and far more useful.
