Metropolitan Information Architecture

This document discusses the increasing urbanization of the world's population and the rise of "metropolitan information architecture." It notes that more than half the world's population now lives in cities, and this number is projected to rise to 70% by 2050. It argues that cities are increasingly defined by their information systems and digital infrastructure, and explores how to design cities that are shaped as much by their information architecture as their physical architecture.

Holes in data, public and private, may become more relevant than the pothole in the pavement — until you trip over it, at least.” — Dan Hill #metroia
