The Frag/men/ted City- Mapping mobility patterns of Mexico City’s highest and lowest socio-economic profiles

ABSTRACT Utilizing health care as an indicator of income, this project highlights the mobility patterns of Mexico City’s highest and lowest income boroughs, Cuautitlán Izcalli to the north and Valle de Chalco Solidaridad to the south. Analyzing the mobility patterns of cell phone towers in these delegaciones, this study reveals a distinctly divided city. The central business district acts as a connectivity node where these disparate socio-economic profiles meet. These connective nodes are potential points of intervention to facilitate community connection and enhance the city’s social capital networks and provide for a vibrant urban experience.

Hi Everyone!

     I found a great book for inspiration! The Avery Library has a copy of Data Flow 2 and it's got a lot of great photos and ideas for approaching our data visualizations. I also recommend Diagrams! The library copy of Diagrams comes with a CD to download copyright-free icons like arrows, people, ect. Great resource! 

 Here are a few of the examples from Data Flow I thought were interesting: 

MOSQUITO:

This is a great example of how a low-tech approach can still get the point across. No fancy computer program here, I think it's actually finger paint! By Christoph Niemann

LIFE WORK:

This is more or less a visual resume which details academic and non-academic work. I like the creative approach. By Ritwick

MLK SPEECH: (see picture above)

This artist took the I Have a Dream speech and broke it down into sound frequency. The colors (red=loud, purple=silent) are a abstract way to look at two ends of the sound spectrum.
