Wanted: The Human City | ScienceSquared

"Ludovic Leclercq, Research Director at The French Institute of Science and Technology in Transport, Planning and Networks agrees. “My idea is to provide tools for people to think of new ways of managing cities,” he says.
Leclerq and Laefer are among scores of scientists now applying their in-depth subject expertise to urban research projects funded by the European Research Council, one of Europe’s biggest frontier-research funders. Laefer has developed a new technique for aerial mapping of heritage buildings to help in avoiding damage when tunnelling below them for underground transport systems. Leclerq is laying the foundations for next-generation road traffic management systems that anticipate congestion, rather than reacting to it."
