MIT Senseable City Lab

Among the Lab's partners are a group of corporations, including AT&T, General Electric, Audi, ENEL, SNCF as well as cities such as Copenhagen, London, Singapore, Seattle, and Florence.

[citation needed] Projects have included "The Copenhagen Wheel",[2] which debuted at the 2009 United Nations Climate Change Conference, "Trash_Track"[3] shown at the Architectural League of New York and the Seattle Public Library, "New York Talk Exchange"[4] featured in the MoMA The Museum of Modern Art, and Real Time Rome, included in the 2006 Venice Biennale of Architecture.

This vision is tailored to a particular city's needs and can be motivated by the challenges a place may be confronting, or by opportunities for providing new experiences or services due to advances in digital technologies.

Lab researchers have produced 166 scientific publications in high-impact academic journals such as "Eigenplaces: analysing cities using the space-time structure of the mobile phone network".

The open-source library, stored on GitHub, includes all the Python programming code to allow anyone to use it to calculate tree cover (measured as Green View Index, or GVI) for their own city or region.
