We can’t see how the street is immersed in a twitching, pulsing cloud
of data. This is over and above the well-established electromagnetic
radiation, crackles of static, radio waves conveying radio and
television broadcasts in digital and analogue forms, police voice
traffic. This is a new kind of data, collective and individual,
aggregated and discrete, open and closed, constantly logging impossibly
detailed patterns of behaviour. The behaviour of the street. -
performance data

Approaching the furniture showroom’s delivery bay to the rear, the
driver of an articulated lorry grinds down through his gears in
frustration as he realises the road over the lights narrows to a point
through which his cab will not fit, information not made clear by the
satnav system propped on his dashboard.

Ricky RobinsonCould this picture of the urban environment be brought to life by existing technology as the author suggests, or is there still some underlying research to be done?

Looking up at the display in fascination and bewilderment, an elderly
lady stumbles over a pothole in the pavement. Helped back to her feet
by a younger man, she decides to complain to the council about the
pothole. The man suggests he can do that right now, from his iPod Touch
and using the library’s open public wifi, by registering the presence
of a pothole at this point on the local problems database, Fix My
Street. The old woman stares at him quizzically as it takes him fifty
seconds to close the website he had been looking it on his mobile
(Google Maps directions for “hairdressers near SW4”, a phrase he’ll
shortly have to type in again, having neglected to bookmark it) and
access fixmystreet.com. He spends the next few minutes indicating the
presence of a pothole outside the library on Fix My Street (unaware of
the postcode, he has to select one from a few possible matches on
street name), before he moves on, satisfied with his civic good deed
for the day. The elderly lady had long since shuffled off, muttering to
herself. Although Fix My Street smartly forwards on all issues to the corresponding council, a beleaguered under-trained temp in the also underfunded 'pavements team' is unaware of fixmystreet.com and unable to cope with the levels of complaint, and so the
pothole claims five more victims over the next two weeks until someone
rings up about it.
