Informational Techniques for Urban Sciences
Different attributes are responsible for shaping the characteristics of a city. Effective characterization and monitoring of a city needs a strong understanding of the working of these attributes. That means there is a need of multidimensional data about these attributes for effective characterization of the city. However, there is a possibility that a huge amount of data would be generated in the process of characterizing the working of the city. In addition, it has to be understood that the data need to be studied using some scientific principles. Otherwise, it would not be possible to extract some meaningful information from the data. Therefore, this chapter aims to explain the significance of informational techniques in extracting meaningful information from the data. Having read this chapter, reader will understand the significance of application of proper informational technique investigations related to urban sciences.
