Content: Broadway 1 has much more social media activity, more taxi rides, and more photos by tourists than Broadway 2. 2 A city of correlations
All variables we analyzed have positive correlations. Informally this can be seen on the graph on the left: the plotted variables go up and down together. The early 21st century megacity is synchronized and coordinated, like the dream of a modernist architect which got realized. In his 1923 book Toward an Architecture, Le Corbusier defined a modern house: “ A house is a machine for living in.” A century later, the whole city acts as a kind of machine, if we examine different variables. But there is also a different way to interpret this “correlated city.” Social inequality and digital divide are now joined by a social media divide which is even more extreme.
