Through this data collection, architects and urban planners can strategically alter urban areas to promote user experience and contentment. Current well-established cities can become known as smart cities, or cities that are data driven. This collection of data, such as traffic control, can be used to improve the user experience through efficiency and correct implementation. The idea of a "walkable city" is also reinforced as an important design solution that directly impacts the user experience in this urban environment. To do this, urban planners must use data from smart cities to make these decisions.NDSU policy 190.6.2https://www.ndsu.edu/fileadmin/policy/190.pdfWorking Paper
