TL;DR

A vision of urban computing is presented, which aims to unlock the power of knowledge from big and heterogeneous data collected in urban spaces and apply this powerful information to solve critical problems the authors' cities face today, ultimately fostering sustainable ecosystems and elevating the human experience.

Abstract

The unprecedented expansion of global metropolises has modernized many people's lives, yet it has also engendered significant challenges, such as air pollution, increased energy consumption, and traffic congestion. Tackling these deeply intertwined challenges was nearly impossible years ago given the complex, dynamic, and constantly shifting environments of cities. Nowadays, ubiquitous sensing technologies and distributed computing infrastructures have produced a variety of big data in urban spaces, e.g., human mobility, air quality, traffic patterns, social media, and geographical data. Motivated by the opportunities of building more intelligent cities, we came up with a vision of urban computing, which aims to unlock the power of knowledge from big and heterogeneous data collected in urban spaces and apply this powerful information to solve critical problems our cities face today, ultimately fostering sustainable ecosystems and elevating the human experience.
