WIKICITY: REAL-TIME LOCATION-SENSITIVE TOOLS FOR THE CITY (2008)
Francesco Calabrese, Carlo Ratti, Kristian Kloeckl
People moving and acting in a city base their decisions on information that is in most cases not synchronized with the time and place they find themselves in when taking that decision. How often have...
