Co-FounderAliganta Jun 2016 - Dec 2018Smart cities monitor most aspects of urban life. They aim to provide better governance and sustainable communities. However, one key aspect of modern city life, recreation, is not monitored. What are people doing in their spare time? where do they do it? how often? and how do these activities impact the urban sprawl? Aliĝanta, using existing sensors and social media, aims to provide local, regional and national governments with the ability to understand how recreation impacts urban life in terms of resources, quality of life, and tourism. The more webs of human relationships a community has, the stronger, safer, and more successful it is. Urban analysts will be able to obtain a major piece of the missing information about how cities work and how recreation fits into the equation. Housing proponents and others may be able to find a new ally in recreation, and mayors, city councils, and chambers of commerce may uncover solid justification to strategically plan for urban recreation in balance with community development projects.It is in this spirit Aliĝanta was formed. For the conversation about and the development of the present and future role of urban recreation within the life and economy of world cities.
