Pedestrians First: Tools for a Walkable City
According to the Institute for Transportation and Development (ITDP), "ITDP has developed Pedestrians First. This tool will facilitate the understanding and the measurement of the features that promote walkability in urban environments around the world at multiple levels. With a better global understanding of walkability, and more consistent and frequent measurement of the walkability of urban environments, decision-makers will be empowered to enact policies that create more walkable urban areas."

The Car of the Future Will Sell Your Data
According to Bloomberg, "Automakers have been installing wireless connections in vehicles and collecting data for decades. But the volume of software and sensors in new vehicles, combined with artificial intelligence that can sift through data at ever-quickening speeds, means new services and revenue streams are quickly emerging. The question for automakers now is whether they can profit from the driver data they are capable of collecting without alienating consumers or risking backlash from Washington."
