Urban Informatics: Using Big Data to Understand and Serve
Communities introduces the reader to the tools of data management,
analysis, and manipulation using R statistical software. Designed
for undergraduate and above level courses, this book is an ideal
onramp for the study of urban informatics and how to translate
novel data sets into new insights and practical tools. The book
follows a unique pedagogical approach developed by the author to
enable students to build skills by pursuing projects that inspire
and motivate them. Each chapter has an Exploratory Data Assignment
that prompts readers to practice their new skills on a data set of
their choice. These assignments guide readers through the process
of becoming familiar with the contents of a novel data set and
communicating meaningful insights from the data to others. Key
Features: The technical curriculum consists of both data management
and analytics, including both as needed to become acquainted with
and reveal the content of a new data set. Content that is
contextualized in real-world applications relevant to community
concerns. Unit-level assignments that educators might use as
midterms or otherwise. These include Community Experience
assignments that prompt students to evaluate the assumptions they
have made about their data against real world information. All data
sets are publicly available through the Boston Data Portal.
