This book explains the potential value of using mobile phone data
to monitor urban practices and identify rhythms of use in today's
cities. Drawing upon research conducted in the Italian region of
Lombardy, the authors demonstrate how maps based on mobile phone
data, which are better tailored to the dynamic processes at work in
cities, can document urban practices, provide new insights into
spatial and temporal patterns of mobility, and assist in
recognizing different communities of practice. The described
methodology permits detailed visualization of the spatial
distribution of mobility flows and offers a more extensive and
refined description of the distribution of urban activity than is
provided by traditional travel surveys. The book also details how
maps derived by processing mobile phone data can assist in the
definition of urban policies that will deliver services that match
cities' needs, facilitate the management of large events (inflow,
outflow, and monitoring), and reflect time-dependent phenomena not
included in traditional analyses.
