This fosters alternative approaches to urban informatics that better capture the intricate nature of urban space and its dynamics. ![]() We discuss typical UGC-driven applications to demonstrate the potential of UGC in revealing how urban spaces are perceived by the public, establishing links between tangible artifacts and physical-cyber-social spaces. We show-case ways in which user-generated 'big data' can be harvested and analyzed to generate invisible and impressionistic landscapes of urban dynamics and to stimulate innovative applications. In this chapter, we will introduce several typical types of UGC, such as geo-tagged photos, social media data, crowd-sourcing GPS trajectories, and videos. UGC creates unprecedented opportunities to sense what was previously hidden in the physical surfaces of cities and to portray the interactions of infrastructures, geo-information, and people therefore, it is not only a new lens for urban space but also leads to innovative applications. ![]() The emergence of Web 2.0 and mobile Internet produces massive user-generated content (UGC), e.g., geo-tagged photos, social network posts, street-view images, crowdsourced GPS trajectories, etc.
