Cities for People, Not Just Cars | Brent Toderian | Walrus Talks
Reconsider traffic infrastructure . . .
Re | Big Data, Cloud & Internet of Things
Fast-changing, human-driven events like expansion of cities and creation of assets for transportation are very vulnerable to old data. Any person who has been misled by car navigation systems can testify to the fact that the digital road network on their device is often out of date and does not show new features.
The need of the hour therefore is for speed of data delivery and crunching.
Where does this data come from and how can it be used in real-time or near-real-time for decision making?
Find out for yourself in this month’s Geospatial World magazine.
The Continuum: Big Data, Cloud & Internet of Things
Q: How many big data scientists does it take to screw in a lightbulb? A: Just a minute. Let me run the algorithm
Natural resources as well as social, political and economic activities have a strong bearing on the outcome of projects such as growth of cities, building of infrastructure and even a farmer’s decision to plant a specific crop. If geospatial systems have to remain relevant in a fast-changing world, then data sources that go beyond imagery and maps must become a part of the analyst’s armory.
Enter the world of Big Data, Big Data Analytics and Internet of Things.

Real Future: Predictive Policing (Episode 12)
Published on Mar 24, 2016
Views: 105,555
From citizens capturing police brutality on their smartphones to police departments using surveillance drones, technology is changing our relationship to the law.
One of the newest policing tools is called PredPol. It's a software program that uses big data to predict where crime is most likely to happen, down to the exact block. Dozens of police departments around the country are already using PredPol, and officers say it helps reduce crime by up to 30%. But some skeptics are worried that despite its futuristic promise, PredPol and similar tools might inflame relationships between local police departments and communities of color.
In this episode of REAL FUTURE, Alexis Madrigal visits the Santa Cruz Police Department, where officers are already using PredPol to augment their old-fashioned police work. And he asks: as crime-fighting goes digital, is there a risk of relying too heavily on an algorithm?
Watch REAL FUTURE on Fusion (Mondays at 10 p.m. Eastern), or on Apple TV or Roku.

PredPol: What Is It?
Official Police Business: Does predictive policing actually work? By Matt Stroud on @MattStroud
Official Police Business is a weekly column and newsletter by reporter Matt Stroud about new developments in police technology, and the ways technology is changing law enforcement — think body cameras, cell-site simulators, surveillance systems, and electroshock weapons. Sign up to receive OPB in your email every Wednesday at officialpolicebusiness.com, or check for it here at The Verge.
Hunchlab's predictive policing, explained
Video >> https://volume.vox-cdn.com/embed/ae6a05d46?placement=article&tracking=article%3Amiddle&player_type=null&start_time=null#ooid=VsM3FtMDE6nBxlgrY9L3T-H8BJkYGv4m
Predictive policing is everywhere . . . private company PredPol is supposedly helping police to identify where property crimes and robberies might occur. As those cities’ predictive programs have gotten more and more attention, police chiefs have done their best to get in on the action. . .
But does predictive policing actually work?
One study —touted seemingly every time a police department decides to contract with PredPol — shows that PredPol’s software can lead to a 7.4 percent reduction in "crime volume."
But that study was carried out by two of PredPol’s founders, P. Jeffrey Brantingham, and George Mohler, who sit on the company’s board of directors.
> What’s more, a French researcher replicated that study and found that police could get the same results if they sent officers to crime hotspots instead of paying to use predictive software.
It’s with similar skepticism that Andrew Ferguson, a law professor at the University of the District of Columbia, decided to take a hard look at predictive policing. In a paper titled "Policing Predictive Policing," forthcoming in the Washington University Law Review, Ferguson provides perhaps the most comprehensive critique of predictive policing yet published. His goal: encouraging lawmakers to scrutinize technology that "has far outpaced any legal or political accountability and has largely escaped academic scrutiny."
After delving into the history of predictive policing and the literature that’s studied it, Ferguson lays out an exhaustive list of "vulnerabilities" that any official should consider before signing onto a so-called predictive program. Those vulnerabilities include questions about how the Big Data feeding these programs are gathered; how those data are used; who’s accountable for how the predictive tools influence policing; how those tools are implemented; and more. To cite his most basic example: if crimes are reported in a specific geographic location, that doesn’t necessarily mean more crimes are happening there — or that crimes aren’t happening elsewhere. It could mean that police tend to be stationed nearby, or that police specifically target that area, or that people there tend to call-in crimes more frequently. But predictive software has no way of knowing that, and can thus lead to a self-fulfilling prophecy. Ferguson quotes former Electronic Frontier Foundation attorney Hanni Fakhoury: "[I]f the data is biased to begin with and based on human judgment, then the results the algorithm is going to spit out will reflect those biases."
Though predictive policing is spreading to police departments all over the world and "there is no real hope of going back," he writes, officials need to understand what they’re signing up for before they contract with PredPol, HunchLab, or any other company selling the Minority Report police solution.
There’s still not a ton of literature about the effectiveness of predictive policing. (There’s only really been one independent study; it was conducted by RAND researchers and its results were inconclusive.) But as Ferguson pointed out to me in an email last week, officials need someone other than police chiefs and company representatives to tell them about whether predictive policing works. "My hope was [this article will be] handed to mayors and city council members when someone proposes buying a predictive policing system."
. . . We’ll see if that’s the case.

Anyone Interested How Planning & Zoning Works? Clue = It Is Complicated
Here's a link >> http://mesa.legistar.com/Calendar.aspx
Condensed below are five pages taken from published agendas, with hard copies available at the meetings as well as a sign-in sheet.
Individual items on agendas have links to the documents and maps associated with each for you to either download or open prior to scheduled meeting times, viewing the materials and plans can take hours! What "average citizen" can really do that??
Nonetheless, your MesaZona blogger took the time on Tue 16 August 2016 to go to the 7:30a.m. PZ Study Session the day before a public hearing took place [didn't attend, but anyone can watch a video-on-demand for the hearing ].
The Agenda for the Tuesday Study Session caught my eye for a presentation that was on the published agenda the day before for a Downtown Mesa Update Presentation by Jeff McVay that, as it turned out didn't happen - it was postponed, rescheduled to be heard at the Sept 20, 2016 Study Session.
You gotta have extraordinary patience to get this: take the time to scan over the items and then watch the video-on-demand for the public.
On the day before what did happen was a review of the items on the tentative agenda for the next day's regular PZ Board Hearing whose final agenda [5 pages] is shown below - the same items.
[Readers should note that all the board members are nominated by the mayor and approved by the Mesa City Council.]
Staff planners, and John Wesley Powell, were on one side and board members on the other facing each other in the front of Room 170 at City Hall. There was a lively give-and-take on all the agenda items I had the time to listen to, noting that Tim Boyle and Steve Ikeda were the most engaged with the staff planners
These are the Items on the final consent agenda the next day: [13]
- 3 Zoning cases *3-a through *3e reviewed were for an assisted living facility, a medical facility, a 3.1-acre single-residential subdivision, a 9+-acre light industrial development and associated storage yards, a 365 plus/minus-acres to establish a Development Unit Plan for Unit 5 North @ Eastmark,
- 4 Discussion and recommendations to the City Council were made on the following zoning cases *4a through *4-c for: a 1.67-acre development for development of 16 attached single residences within a multi-residential district, a 15-acre development of a multi-residential project, and a 1.16-acre for an outpatient surgical facility.
- 5 Discussion and action on preliminary plats *5-a through *5-e for: 17+-acre Sunland Spring [condos], a 1.67-acre for Pasadena Estates, a 2.7-acre for Villa Rialto II, a 3.1-acre for Diamond Court, and a 9-acre Red mountain Business Park
6 Items not on the consent agenda: Take action on
