Dear Urban Science - City Analytics Folks,<br>
<br>
Chris Pettit is leading this and I am here to help. Each of you who are personally addressed, have expressed interest in moving this Urban Science - City Analytics theme into a bright future. If we think of this as putting the planet on track from the ground
up, this is it, one city at a time! Solutions that we collectively share!!! To become a groundswell for all!<br>
<br>
I think there may be a better name for this than "Urban Science - City Analytics" maybe 'Municipal Munificence' (just kidding) but at lease something less techno, i.e., SmartCity? This enterprise will not only address management of city infrastructure, zoning,
permit process, taxation, flooding, traffic, routing of garbage trucks, and all the other munificent things integral to community living, but it will do this with an eye for constant improvement (analytics) to increase sustainability, prepare for climate change,
and simply orient ongoing repair and growth in ways that continually improve the quality of city life.<br>
<br>
This will necessarily decrease vehicle traffic, increase bicycle and pedestrian traffic, enhance more self-sufficient communities, increase cooperatives, and make schools, stores and services more accessible to more 'localized' communities. Then connect those
local communities with each other via major public transportation arteries.<br>
<br>
Okay, however ideal we orient, we must first address ^basic^ city management issues. Let's put together a list of what those are and then together prioritize them. At least that will establish the target. I see a lot of activity out there already thinking about
these things. . .<br>
