Cities are complex
Cities are systems
Cities are location-based

Cause and effect are deceptively simple

Emergent processes are hard to envision
Another example: generating a map//First pass: random terrain for (int x = 0; x < Width(); x++) for (int y = 0; y < Height();y++) map[x][y] = rand.Next(LandTypes);
Effect of the 2nd pass?//Second passfor (int x = 0; x < Largura(); x++) for (int y = 0; y < Altura(); y++)
// randomly copy terrain // left, right, up, or down
A more realistic terrain//Second passfor (int x = 0; x < Largura(); x++) for (int y = 0; y < Altura(); y++)
// randomly copy terrain // left, right, up, or down
Emergency is hard to envision
Understand Communicate
We see citizens as bearers of complex social and cultural knowledge that can be leveraged to meet the challenge of defining rules and behaviors to explore and communicate complex, systemic data and ideas.

“Knowledge” that is consistent with the mix of real and virtual in augmented reality: the cultural expressions and elements found in body motions and gestures, voice, and tangible object manipulation.
