The city as we know it cannot stay the same forever, and how we change it comes down to the remarkable data for which VivaCity is responsible.

Replacing the inefficient observer-with-clipboard methods of data gathering with computer vision AI is just the first step in revolutionising cities, and Mark Nicholson is the Co-Founding CEO at the forefront.

Mark joins us on Extrology to discuss the evolution of cities, a new age of data analysis, and why hardware rather than software will play host to the most exciting innovations.

Lee and Mark discuss:

  • Parallels between tennis coaching and business ownership
  • Mark’s balance of technical and creative endeavours
  • How we’ve been poorly served in data analysis, and how modern methods have iterated
  • The challenging mission of shifting transport demand within cities
  • New, localised challenges with a launch in the US and a European presence
