Cell City Final Proposal:

3.22.12

ABSTRACT:

Cell phone data provides the opportunity to rethink how Mexico Citys urban landscape can provide city

services to specific areas. The ability to visualize and group hourly population movement throughout the city

for six months gives government departments pertinent information regarding where and when services

need to be provided. For example, grouping cell phone towers by their strength of connectivity begins tocluster them into new neighborhoods with geographic boundaries different from the current political

boundaries of the 16 delegaciones. Once these new groups are determined, it is possible to examine which

city services such as hospitals, police stations, fire stations, and schools are present within the new

boundaries, and consequently, determine if they are underserved. These newly redistributed populations

could be allocated with more services that better reflect the population distribution rather than an arbitrary

political boundary. Remapping Mexico City with a population distribution that more accurately reflects its

mobility can allow city services to target specific areas with relevant and efficient responses to underserved

areas.

INTERACTION

The primary visualization will be a map showing the redrawn neighborhoods of Mexico City with their BTS tower locations, call volume, andcity services locations shown together. It will be supported with secondary visuals like charts, graphs, supplementary maps, and text to addexplanation and information onto the larger map. It is conceived of as printed material that could easily be distributed as a publication.

AUDIENCE

GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS ADVOCACY GROUPS GENERAL PUBLIC

Government officials and communityrepresentatives can make more informeddecisions to allocate services and fundsto areas that are underserved. The visu-alization could be part of a study used tounderstand census data and demo-graphics in a different light.

Advocacy groups could use the visual-izations to make a case for requestingservices and funds to their respectiveneighborhoods. Areas that have histori-cally pushed for more city services wouldhave more justification for requestingthem.

Although a broadly defined audience,the visualization could be part of a publi-cation that is distributed through a maga-zine, journal, or website that could befreely accessed by anyone wanting toread or research trends between demo-graphics and cell phone data.

REFERENCES:

The Connected States of America project from MITs Sense-able City Lab inspired the analytical direction of

this project by determining which state counties of the American population have strong communication

connections through call data. New boundaries can be drawn based on these connections that may better

reflect similarities in demographics beyond a state boundary.
