The city of the future lights of the billboards in New York’s Times Square already down on passers-by.
High-resolution maps for autonomous driving cars and programs for data interfaces: yet Google delivers mainly software for smart cities. But the alphabet CEO Larry Page knows that urban planning is much room for improvement yet and the project “Google Y” launched. For a year it deals with the question of how the power giant can organize the data streams in the cities of the future – and how it could build itself cities by Google degree. For if by the traffic lights on the water meter, everything is interconnected to the surveillance camera, waiting for Google unimagined growth opportunities. Its algorithms are then steer to the way traffic flows, the water supply and garbage disposal. Information on the private energy demand can provide Google Nest, travel plans optimized Google Maps.
Even now, the Group sends its Street View cars from to measure air pollution in cities. It shall also deal with the construction of a seamless wireless network. Google’s daughter Sidewalk Labs wants to turn around by the end of 2015 to payphones in New York City in modern information stations. The cells should provide Wifi within fifty meters and offer a charging station for mobile phones and an interactive screen, the free national phone calls and access to the Internet.
In his book “Triumph of the City” argues Harvard economist Edward Glaeser, anyway cities are only social search engines, which served to bring together people with similar interests. But this is well known Google’s core business. Sidewalk Chef Dan Doctoroff any case is certain: “We are at the beginning of a historic transformation of our cities.” Where they will lead, also moves the city planner Mark Elliott, who has designed a future plan for Melbourne. He imagines that from busy streets safe places for pedestrians could be soon. “One could go on a busy highway, without interrupting the traffic, when the autonomous vehicles and their associated networks would be the approach by passersby aware of and adapt their driving style in advance.” Google guides us with his navigation software long of shops past, which correspond with our preferences – and pay the most on advertising. The Internet company not only controls the search behavior on the network, but also in real space.
An impression of how a Google-city might look conveys also the headquarters of the Group in Mountain View, which is to be completed 2020th Under huge glass domes to thirty hectares a Bürowelt arise in which employees can ride a bike to work. The complex, half theme park, shopping mall half wants cancel Le Corbusier functional separation of work and home. Individual building modules are to be assembled and disassembled by robots within hours. Thus the architectural statics of virtual momentum to adapt. The project chief architect Bjarke Ingels and Thomas Heatherwick rewrite the system as a kind of glass factory. Also symbolizes that all areas of our daily lives are glasses.
