Urban
Technologies @ City Lab
Innovative urban
technologies are being developed to automate or at least facilitate
municipal activities. Examples of these
activities are the Ultrasound Boat
Monitoring project and the Turbulence
Mapping project that are aimed at the development of innovative instruments
to monitor of the impacts of boat traffic on the city of
