This paper examines the application of big data in urban planning, using the case of transportation planning in Sydney as an example. By analyzing smart card data, the paper explores the mobility patterns in the city through the lens of the 30 min city concept.
In an era of smart cities, artificial intelligence and machine learning, data is purported to be the 'new oil', fuelling increasingly complex analytics and assisting us to craft and invent future cities. This paper outlines the role of what we know today as big data in understanding the city and includes a summary of its evolution. Through a critical reflective case study approach, the research examines the application of urban transport big data for informing planning of the city of Sydney. Specifically, transport smart card data, with its diverse constraints, was used to understand mobility patterns through the lens of the 30 min city concept. The paper concludes by offering reflections on the opportunities and challenges of big data and the promise it holds in supporting data-driven approaches to planning future cities.
