The use of data science and urban analytics has become a defining feature of smart cities. This timely book is a clear guide to the use of social media data for urban analytics. The foundations of urban analytics with social media data are presented, along with real-world applications and insights on the platforms we use today. The authors look at social media analytics platforms, cyberphysical data analytics platforms, crowd detection platforms, City-as-a-Platform, and city-as-a-sensor for platform urbanism, and examples to illustrate how we apply and analyse social media data to determine disaster severity, assist authorities with pandemic policy, and capture public perception of smart cities are provided. This will be a useful reference for those involved with and researching social, data, and urban analytics and informatics.
