City planning practice and research has been increasingly engaged, as of late, with the “Smart City” concept. The complex interweaving of internet communication technology (ICT) and urbanizing geographical regions, smart city urbanism utilizes deployments of sensor technologies to monitor and record urban use information within the rapidly changing physical environments that support contemporary societies and also future city development. Real time urban data resources emerging from smart city sensor initiatives have been employed by a diversity of academic, professional, and civic entities, however despite the significance of prevailing urban use data in architectural practice and research, there has been a discernible lack of engagement with burgeoning real time data resources by architects.
Architects and city planners, the professionals traditionally charged with the duty of stewardship of the physical environment, have historically relied heavily on topical information in the execution of their duty to society. The relationship between the acquisition of urban use
information, typically hidden within a cities daily customs, and the application of that usage information, by architects and city planners, in urban development has traditionally been archeologically oriented. While we consistently call upon our architects and city planners to envision and guide the development of our future cities, we have been guilty of supplying them with untimely if not completely antiquated information concerning how individuals and entities properly utilize their respective urban regions (Berst, 2013). This paradox becomes more readily apparent when considering the increasing numbers of sensor technologies being put to work in our physical surroundings, which have in turn catalyzed a growth in the availability of real time urban usage data.
