📣 New paper in Nature Human Behavior @natureportfolio.bsky.social! Using large-scale mobility data, we find how businesses, amenities, and other urban places depend on each other. It reveals connections that aren’t always visible but have substantial economic impacts.

And all these was written a lot time ago by James C. Scott in his famous book "Seeing like a state". We need a more complex systems approach to systems of systems (like transportation)
"Confessions of a recovering engineer" by Chuck Marohn (@strongtowns.org) viscerally captures the chasm between the "metrics" that drive engineering projects and what most people consider critical and important.
