Scenarios for the City and the Landscape. Data as a Factor in the Project Evolution

In the digital age, the relationship between information, city and landsca- pe project has become increasingly crucial. Technological evolution has ra- dically transformed the way we collect, analyze, and use data in the project. The advent of big data and information collection and processing techno- logies has provided the various stakeholders engaged in the transformation of cities and landscapes with an unprecedented amount of information, often confusing and, even more often, difficult to interpret. As data increases, so do the overlaps and conflicts between the meanings attributable to surveys and analyses, often with an effect contrary to the possibilities they are supposed to offer.
