(21 March 2014) From civic engagement to public health and traffic planning, Big Data – also known as the massive quantities of information about people and their daily interactions arising from multimedia, social media and the internet – can produce a paradigm shift in how cities better organise themselves and improve the quality of life for urban residents, while leveraging the power of knowledge networks and collaborative digital technologies.
The Wee Kim Wee School of Information and Communication (WKWSCI) at Nanyang Technological University (NTU) held its symposium on Big Data today, aimed at developing such smarter communities of the future.
