对话脉策——用数据解读城市

A DIALOGUE WITH METRODATATECH: INTERPRETING CITIES WITH DATA

请问您与大数据有怎样的渊源?成立城市数据团及脉策的契机是什么?我是城市规划背景出身,城市数据的研究一直是本职工作,但起初研究的数据还未达到大数据的量级,能将城市现有的数据分析清楚已经是较复杂的工作了。同时,城市规划行业在增量转存量的过程中,数据的重要性越来越大,它可以辅助规划师洞察城市,帮助城市管理者做决策。而当我们从城市这个宏观尺度去研究人的时候,就需要使用大数据去分析人的行为,譬如当我们研究商业业态时,就要研究人的消费行为。这也是最初我们接触城市大数据的切入点。

How did you get into the area of big data?What brought you there to establish MetroData Team and MetroDataTech?My background is urban planning.The research of urban data has always been my focus,but the research data at the beginning has not reached the magnitude of big data.It was already a complicated work to analyze the existing urban data.At the same time,as the urban planning industry is in the process of transferring from the increment to the inventory,data is becoming more and more important.
