Intangible Qualities of Social Dynamics


We spent some time discussing theScientific American article "Cities: Engines of Innovation" by Edward Glaeser (September 2011).  We were left with a deeper interest in discovering the "intangible qualities of social dynamics".

How could we use new and current technology to study cities in a new way?  What could we learn that has not been uncovered by planning studies already completed?

Our main questions about Kendall Square:

- Curious to understand Kendall in the context of history and policy
- Deeper awareness of available technology resources
- Discovering economic data sources
