CityScope, 2018

This is a CityScope. It was designed by City Science Group, MIT Media Lab. It is dated 2018. Its medium is aluminum, electronics, mirrors, acrylic, wood, plastic. It is a part of the department.

CityScope is an interactive tool that helps one visualize two extreme versions of a future with driverless cars. Will we create an ownership society with private driverless cars? Or a world of lightweight shared social mobility robots available to all? In one scenario, streets are dominated by machines and density leads to congestion and anxiety. The other is a more vibrant city where humans recapture streets, and the benefits of mixed use density, creative interactions, and equity increase.
