Quantifying Everything About Urban Life
Over decades, the Kavli HUMAN Project will track 10,000 New Yorkers’ lives.
Anyone who lives in a city is affected and influenced by an evolving network of environmental, economic, behavioral, and biological factors.
It’s an overwhelming concept, but that’s kind of the point for Paul Glimcher, an NYU professor and the director of the Kavli HUMAN Project—a first-of-its-kind study that, once it launches next summer, will track the lives of 10,000 New Yorkers in 4,000 families over the span of decades.
