The real-time city is now real! The increasing deployment of sensors and hand-held electronics (such as mobile phones) allows a new approach to the study of cities and the built environment. In the visualizations of Real Time Rome we synthesize data from various real-time communications and transportation networks to understand patterns of daily life in Rome. We interpolate the aggregate mobili...
