What If We Re-Design A Neighborhood Around These New Tools
How?1. Mine entire Foursquare check-in database to figure out what
anchors/attractors entice people out from subway stations2. Now you can move those out further because you have Citi
Bike3. Use incentives to move those anchors further out4. Allows you to spread the enormous value of the subway over a
larger area5. Increase density in that larger area6. BOOM! With no public money spend, you’ve solved New York’s
biggest long-term problem: where do we put the next 1 million New Yorkers!

How Can We Test This?
• Look at how mobility patterns evolve for a group of subjects by looking at personal data for both systems– A) as they learn to use Foursquare– B) as they learn to use citibike– C) as they learn to use the two together
• Do their heat maps grow? Can we leverage that to increase the “ridership shed” of a transit stop?
• Maybe one day… mash both entire data sets together
