Urbanflow Aims To Turn Cities Into Playgrounds For Interactive Infographics

A really great idea that utilises the power of beautiful data visualisations to help people get to know the city around them. 

Ever find yourself wandering around a new city (or even one you’re familiar with), and approach one of those handy urban info-kiosks only to find that it’s completely inadequate to the task of telling you where you are, where you might want to go, and what is going on around you? Urbanscale has the same frustration, which is why they teamed up with designers at Nordkapp to design a set of updated public signage called Urbanflow that’s as connected and interactive as the smartphone in your pocket. Here’s their concept video:
