Harvard University is devoted to excellence in teaching, learning, and research, and to developing leaders in many disciplines who make a difference globally. Founded in 1636, Harvard is the oldest institution of higher learning in the United States.
The official flagship Harvard social media channels are maintained by Harvard Public Affairs and Communications and aim to provide access to the people, places, events, news and research at our Institution. We ask that all visitors to Harvard’s digital spaces be civil to one another and to the site editors. Personal attacks, profanity, commercial solicitations, spam, misinformation or other inappropriate contributions are grounds for comment removal. We ask that you stay on topic when contributing to a discussion and refrain from duplicate posts.
Hateful or discriminatory comments regarding race, ethnicity, religion, gender, disability, sexual orientation, or political beliefs will not be tolerated. The page administrators reserve the right to delete inappropriate or abusive comments and to permanently ban or block users from the Harvard social media accounts.
Formerly Sustainable Cities Collective, Smart Cities Dive has been created to give the topics of urban sustainability and connectivity the full-time editorial news coverage they deserve. It reaches more than 250,000 industry leaders each month via its website, email newsletter, and social media channels.
StreetLight, a subsidiary of Jacobs, pioneered the use of Big Data analytics to shed light on how people, goods, and services move, empowering smarter, data-driven transportation decisions. We made it easy, affordable, and efficient for planners, modelers, and engineers to access real-world mobility data.
How? Our data science and engineering teams lead the market in applying proprietary machine-learning algorithms and data processing resources to measure travel patterns of vehicles, bicycles and pedestrians that enable complex transportation problem solving using analytics available on our mobility SaaS platform, StreetLight InSight®.
Acquired by Jacobs in February 2022, we continue to provide innovative digital solutions to help communities reduce congestion, improve safe and equitable transportation, and maximize the positive impact of infrastructure investment.
