This is #Hudson_Yards, the largest private real-estate development in United States history and the test ground for the world’s most ambitious experiment in “smart city” urbanism.
[...] it was easy to see a role for Hudson Yards. Here was an unprecedented opportunity to rewire a large plot of land, to create, tabula rasa, a test-bed of urban intelligence that would align the city’s new data science industry with its expertise in finance, real estate, design, and structural and civil engineering. In April 2014, CUSP announced that it would partner with Related and Oxford to develop Hudson Yards as a “unique experimental environment” for testing “new physical and informatics technologies and analytics capabilities.”
