De nuevo, la Ciudad de México según Twitter y Flickr (F:rojo T:azul T+F=blanco). Quién decía que la ciudad de México era cacariza?
Ahi tienen su eje rector, su acceso a internet, su centralización, su seguridad para turistas… qué más?

Hablar de centralización y sistema de ciudades pierde el sentido al ver un mapa como este: en rojo las fotos de Flickr, en azul los tuits (de Twitter), en blanco los que coinciden ambos.
México es un país subutilizado, y todos los que saben de bienes raíces, saben muy bien lo que le pasa a los terrenos subutilizados.

![Being in such an enormous city, it is sometimes hard to mantain the context
of what is where. A normal way for institutions and commercial
establishments to differentiate their stores is to name them according to
where they think it is, such as “Such and such university, south campus”
and “Such and such university, north campus”.
So, there you have it. Although there is a general consensus of what is the
“South” and the “North” of Mexico City, we’ve totally lost the general
idea. The yellow blobs are the northern establishments and the blue ones,
the southern ones. You can appreciate some green blobs, the yuxtaposition
of both. Let’s call that “the middle” or “downtown.
*=CENTRAL means “bus station”, be it north or south.
Does this happen in your city?

La lucha por las definiciones sigue vigente en la arquitectura y el urbanismo.
¿Qué es la Arquitectura?
¿Qué es el Urbanismo?
¿Quienes la (deben) ejercen?
ad nauseam…
Bill Davenhall: Your health depends on where you live
Where you live: It impacts your health as much as diet and genes do, but it’s not part of your medical records. At TEDMED, Bill Davenhall shows how overlooked government geo-data (from local heart-attack rates to toxic dumpsite info) can mesh with mobile GPS apps to keep doctors in the loop. Call it “geo-medicine.”
