ABSTRACT:

The goal of the visualization is to identify and analyze the urban patterns that attest to the exclusivity of

certain neighborhoods in mexico city. We would like to compare two neighborhoods in mexico city with ac-

tive nightlife centers - one afuent and the other less so - in order to predict the next upcoming nightlife

center.

Polanco, a central area within the Hidalgo Colonia, and Cuauhctemoc have a highly active nightlife center.

One that is encouraged by the ofcial and commercial tourist information centers, directing large amounts

of tourists as well as locals towards its many night time establishments. The bars, restaurants and clubs

attract a signicant high-income crowd, and in turn, this crowd contributes to the image of exclusivity pro-

jected from the neighborhoods.

Analyzing and characterizing the cell phone data patterns of these afuent neighborhoods will allow us to

nd similar patterns in other areas in the city, and therefore to identify the next up and coming neighbor-

hood in mexico city.

PLAN:

We will characterize the call patterns in Polanco and Cuauhctemoc (the afuent neighborhoods) during the

hours designated to lunch (2-5pm) and the usual nightlife hours (9pm-2am) over the weekend, and com-

pare the volume of calls between these neighborhoods and Benito Juarez in order to nd similar patterns.

GROUP MEMBERS:

Kevin R. Cervantes

The collection of information will be evenly split between the members of the group. This includes mining

call data from Polanco and Cuauhctemoc. We will also split the color and layout responsibilities.

-Collaborative exploration of Processing.

STORYBOARD

RELEVANCE:

Our project aims to identify the urban elements that contribute to the creation of exclusivity. The tool will

benet tourist in Mexico as well as locals who wish to expand their nightlife horizons. It will lead to a bet-

ter understanding and awareness of exclusivity, in image and in actuality, of these neighborhoods. Tourists

and locals will have a greater variety of potential hotspots leading to a more diverse and accurate image

of the city. In addition, by encouraging additional nightlife centers, the citys revenue could be better distrib

uted and diversied.
