- W2287368027 abstract "Currently more than half of the global population resides in cities1. Cities have been long considered as the paramount instrument for wealth creation and innovation. However, they have also transformed to the main source of crimes, diseases and pollution. Hence, as massive amounts of people move to urban areas, there is a need for cities to be run more efficiently. Nevertheless, at the same time these massive urban populations make this task much harder and challenging. Despite the aforementioned conflicting dynamics, many of the operations related to urban planning can be facilitated by appropriate exploitation of the technological advancements in mobile computing and networking as well as from the unprecedented amount of data available from a number of sensors. Ubiquitous mobile computing (e.g., smartphones) has essentially enabled the interconnection of the masses in a previously unseen scale. In turns, this has facilitated the fast propagation of news, trends and practices through the urban space. The potentials to transform the planning and management of megacities towards a bottom-up paradigm are unparalleled and can be realized through crowdsourcing. Crowdsourcing has recently become ubiquitous in the business world, where services utilize the “wisdom of crowds” (e.g., review platforms). Well defined but laborious tasks within research projects (e.g., data labeling) have also found their way to crowdsourcing platforms (e.g., Amazon’s Mechanical Turk), while computationally expensive tasks are completed by large crowds who volunteer their machines for the computations2. One of the best examples of “urban” crowdsourcing is OpenStreetMaps (http:// www.openstreetmap.org), where citizens contribute to the creation of open and accessible maps of our cities and beyond. The main idea behind crowdsourcing is the division of a large task, which is practically impossible to be completed by a few people, to a very large number of small components/mini-tasks. Each of these mini-tasks is usually fundamental and does not require specific expertise. As a result, they can be completed with a minimal effort from individuals, and hence, a large group of people can collectively complete the previously impossible task. As alluded to above, the scale of megacities can cause problems in the completion of urban planning operations. The latter could be a manifestation of either sub-optimal operations caused from the large “solution space” to be explored or of the inability to complete the operations at all. For instance, the spatial expansion of the urban areas in conjunction with their densification and the decline in the local governments’ financial resources make it practically impossible for the bureau of building inspection to inspect whether" @default.
