NYU's Constantine Kontokosta sees Big Data as a tool not just for saving energy—but for making cities healthier, more resilient, and more equitable.
By the time Constantine Kontokosta got involved with New York City's Hudson Yards development, it was already on track to be historically big and ambitious.
Over the course of the next decade, developers from New York's Related Companies and Canada-based Oxford Properties Group are building the largest real-estate development in United States history: a 28-acre neighborhood on Manhattan's far West Side over a Long Island Rail Road yard, with some 17 million square feet of new commercial, residential, and retail space.
