SENSEable City Lab

The SENSEable City Lab, a project by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, aims to study and predict how digital technology is changing the way people describe, design, and occupy cities. Thus, the laboratory seeks to design a technology that works as an interface between people and the city.

Projects carried out at the lab are intended to help the people to learn how the cities are used and thus how to make better use of their resources and improve their design.

Laboratory researchers are formed by interdisciplinary professionals, such as physicists, architects, urban planners, artists, engineers, and computer science. This allows technological development to be carried out with an emphasis on behaviour, as well as functionality and form, and to assess design in terms of emotion and use.
