Navigating (Complex) Cities: The Power of Design & Data
As cities grow in size, so does the complexity in navigating them. Citymapper started as an app in 2011 to help people navigate London using open data and human-centric design. Today, Citymapper covers 39 cities, including Hong Kong. Design is not just about layouts, buttons and colours — it is also about the approach and resources used in solving problems. In the past six years, Citymapper has built tools to enhance cities’ data and at the same time, Citymapper has learnt about how people move in cities, and how cities can move people better. On May 9, 2017, Citymapper launched its Smartbus. It is the reinvention of the bus, a bus for the smart city era, a bus designed the Citymapper way with Citymapper bus tech. Join us in exploring how to navigate cities through the power of design and data.
