Leveraging current and historical data on location movements allows urban planners to understand current challenges and build smart, flexible and efficient cities.
As more cities begin to implement smart city planning based on data science, location intelligence insights help shape policies that will benefit neighborhoods and the people who live in them.
By incorporating location intelligence into urban planning, it becomes possible to develop infrastructure adapted to the needs of citizens, enhancing living conditions in any given city. In addition, spatial data helps to optimize costs and prioritize government administration projects.
What does location intelligence provide to urban planning?
Heat maps are used by any business sector to identify foot traffic and vehicular mobility patterns in an area or point of interest, as their visualization presents multiple pieces of data in a way that makes immediate sense.
Heat maps can be used to identify foot traffic patterns from a country-level scale to a more detailed level such as the infrastructure of a store or building.
The Nicaraguan government is planning the construction of roads and bridges nationwide.

Location intelligence is revolutionizing the way companies establish, operate and expand their business.
From deciding where to locate a new store to analyzing foot traffic to gauge market competition, the use of location data is growing.
One of the key components of location intelligence is data related to points of interest (POIs). POIs indicate a specific location in an area of interest to businesses: it can be a store, a hospital, a university, or a corporate building, among others, depending on the information required for the particular target, helping companies make faster, more informed and cost-effective decisions.
Many decision makers in the construction industry don't know what to do with the vast amount of data they have available, as they don't have the right tools to analyze it in a way that will have a meaningful impact on their projects.
Predictive modeling, Big Data analytics, machine learning and artificial intelligence unlock the ability to leverage the data coming from projects to organize and interpret it and thereby discover patterns more quickly. These tools reduce problems, lower costs and mitigate the risk of different processes in construction projects by making the work more predictable and efficient.
