. Ik word er ongelukkig van, maar toch ziet het eruit als een knappe oplossing. De beesten zien er goed en schoon uit, en ze hebben daglicht. MVRDV heeft eind vorig millennium al een soort hypothetische verkenning gedaan. Metacity - datatown: mvrdv.com/projects/147/metac…

@ProfEmilyOster here is ChatGPT version of your children’s book request in style of your writing. 😂 **Creature of Habit and the Chaos Monster: An Experiment in Change** --- **Page 1:** In Routineville, Creature of Habit thrived on consistency. Data showed his routines made him 95% content. --- **Page 2:** Every morning at 7:00 sharp, his breakfast was quantified: one toast slice with precisely 10g of jam. --- **Page 3:** Statistically, the third swing at the park had the optimal balance of shade and view. That's where he always sat. --- **Page 4:** One day, an anomaly appeared from the hills: the Chaos Monster! His actions had a standard deviation off the charts. --- **Page 5:** Chaos Monster believed in random sampling. He tried different things, testing each to see its effect. --- **Page 6:** Creature of Habit charted the disruption. "My contentment levels are fluctuating!" he noted. --- **Page 7:** The next day, a variable changed: toast at 7:03, with a spread of peanut butter. Creature's satisfaction score? Unexpectedly high. --- **Page 8:** At the park, swing positions had been randomized! Creature of Habit decided to experiment and collect new data. --- **Page 9:** Chaos Monster offered a hypothesis: “Variety might increase overall happiness levels." --- **Page 10:** With systematic sampling, Creature found joy in new swings. Different variables, but positive outcomes. --- **Page 11:** Both began collaborating on a joint study: "Routine vs. Random: What Maximizes Contentment?" --- **Page 12:** They discovered balance was key. While Creature of Habit introduced control groups in Chaos Monster's life, Chaos taught Creature the joy of occasional outliers. --- **Page 13:** Their joint paper concluded: "Change can elevate happiness, but routines offer stability. Optimal contentment lies in the balance." --- **Page 14:** Routineville was renamed DataTown. It became a place of both structured routines and spontaneous joy. --- **Page 15:** Thus, by merging systematic habits with unexpected joys, DataTown's overall happiness index surged by 20%. --- **The End.**

Textbook ex of how to use @mhpdata tools to spark better understanding of housing needs. Thx Risha! #DataTown #Todex 🐸 #Residensity @localloislane @CalClark17 @Data_Hopper @danalewinter @Amherst_Paul

And Risha. You are using DataTown the way it was intended. @Data_Hopper @CalClark17

I discovered @mhpdata's datatown today and I do think there's an interesting story to understand about @TownOfAmherst. A 🧵 Background: I grew up here in the 80/90s and moved back in 2020. I have a kid in public school. I'm on the Amherst Municipal Affordable Housing Trust.

MVRDV's Pig City followed their Metacity/Datatown, an exhibition and book project that asked, What if we envisioned a city based "purely" on real data pushed to extreme scenarios?

This is what you can do with @mhpdata's tools. Read local story & dig deeper with #DataTown & #TODEX, the MBTA station density tool. Coming soon is #Residensity, which will allow you to measure density anywhere in MA. Check out beta version. bit.ly/3iQqbMc 6/end

For starters, Braintree's production has been in decline, according to @mhpdata's #DataTown. If you're not familiar with this site, it has demographic & housing #dataviz like this for all 351 MA communities. 2/ mhp.net/datatown @SSChamber @danalewinter @SasserModestino

Great local data source @massmunicipal ! If youl like this sort of thing, also check out @mhpdata Datatown site: mhp.net/news/2019/mhps-cente…

In explaining why his church wants to use its land for apartments, Rev. Dave O'Leary said, "Housing is a fundamental right." That sent us to #DataTown where we found Wayland hasn't OK'd much multifamily lately. Someone's 🙏 were answered. More at mhp.net/datatown

Great use of #datatown to analyze what's going on in this town, try out the site, all 351 cities and towns are included!

Good use of MHP's #DataTown site. See demographic & housing #dataviz like this for all 351 MA cities & towns at mhp.net/datatown.

Really enjoyed @digitalkatie presenting the scottish way of #DataEducation at the #INFORMATIK2022. Maybe we can learn from it for the #DataLiteracyEducation @unihh #DDLitLab! teachdata.science #DataLiteracy #DataQualifications #DataTown #twittercampus

News that Framingham is considering asking developers to boost its inclusion of affordable units in projects from 10 to 15% sent us to #DataTown for pix of what's going on there. 1/. bit.ly/3QSgrN3 @metrowestdaily @Digital_Nicole

News that Revere council voted 8-1 against inclusionary zoning sent us to MHP DataTown, where population has grown by 10K in a decade while building has slowed. Sad city passed on chance to ensure affordability is part of the mix. More #dataviz: mhpcenterforhousingdata.shin…

Recent opening of 20 two- & 18 three-BR affordable apartments in Beverly sent us to DataTown, where permitting shows city has been strong in adding multifamily to its mix. For more #dataviz like this, check out mhp.net/datatown. @HarborlightCP @CHAPAdotorg @SenJoanLovely

. In 1999 MVRDV, a group of leading architects, did an art project called Metacity / Datatown on how one could conceptually pack the world all together efficiently. The conclusion was that in this way it could be possible to house up to 90 billion people. mvrdv.nl/projects/147/metaci…
