[10/10] Prix Vautrin-Lud en 2010, cofondatrice de Géographie-Cités, Denise Pumain rappelle qu’un bon modèle exige des données patiemment vérifiées. Elle a montré que l’espace urbain obéit à des régularités, sans perdre sa diversité. #geography #urbansystems #spatialanalysis #modeling

[1/8] Jose Eduardo Pachano (Universidad de Navarra, Institut BIOMA) analyse le rôle des "jumeaux numériques" pour réduire la consommation énergétique des bâtiments. Les datas deviennent un levier pour repenser les systèmes urbains. #geography #smartcities #energytransition #urbansystems
Buildings consume 30% of global energy – digital twins could be the key to cutting that waste
Data from readily available sensors can be used to digitally trial new systems – all without risking resources.

Urban weedy plantains (Plantago spp.) do not hyperaccumulate heavy metals nor shelter their soil microarthropod communities from these metals
Heavy metal hyperaccumulation by plants is a powerful tool in phytoremediation, where plants store heavy metals in large amounts in their aboveground …

Cities no longer grow naturally. They are designed.

SF = capital, NOVA = compute, SG = optimization, Tokyo = regulation, Sapporo = adaptation, Austin = expansion, Dubai = state design.

Constraints don’t disappear.
They move — and converge into design.
