  • Social Media and Popular Places: the Case of Chicago Kheir Al-Kodmany†
    International Journal of High-Rise Buildings International Journal of June 2019, Vol 8, No 2, 125-136 High-Rise Buildings https://doi.org/10.21022/IJHRB.2019.8.2.125 www.ctbuh-korea.org/ijhrb/index.php Social Media and Popular Places: The Case of Chicago Kheir Al-Kodmany† Department of Urban Planning and Policy, University of Illinois at Chicago, USA Abstract This paper offers new ways to learn about popular places in the city. Using locational data from Social Media platforms platforms, including Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram, along with participatory field visits and combining insights from architecture and urban design literature, this study reveals popular socio-spatial clusters in the City of Chicago. Locational data of photographs were visualized by using Geographic Information Systems and helped in producing heat maps that showed the spatial distribution of posted photographs. Geo-intensity of photographs illustrated areas that are most popularly visited in the city. The study’s results indicate that the city’s skyscrapers along open spaces are major elements of image formation. Findings also elucidate that Social Media plays an important role in promoting places; and thereby, sustaining a greater interest and stream of visitors. Consequently, planners should tap into public’s digital engagement in city places to improve tourism and economy. Keywords: Social media, Iconic socio-spatial clusters, Popular places, Skyscrapers 1. Introduction 1.1. Sustainability: A Theoretical Framework The concept of sustainability continues to be of para- mount importance to our cities (Godschalk & Rouse, 2015). Planners, architects, economists, environmentalists, and politicians continue to use the term in their conver- sations and writings.

  • To Brand Or Not to Brand? (Part 1) by Chloe Riley
    Link to Article To brand or not to brand? (Part 1) By Chloe Riley That is the question. Whether ‘tis nobler in the mind to go the route of Best Western, (which debuted some 10 brands over the past six years alone) or blaze the trail of the independent hotelier (see Ian Schrager’s latest iteration of Public House or Cyril Aouizerate’s highly communal Mob Hotels)? Here’s a look at the power of the brand. (Stay tuned next week for Part 2). ‘Is there customer confusion? I think there is’ Best Western knows something about crafting a brand. In just the past six years, the company’s debuted 10 brands, with those newer ones (Like Glo and Vib) comprising 40% of its current pipeline. Next year, the company wants that number to be closer to 50%. “We’re certainly focused on global growth, both in North America and Asia,” says Ron Pohl, Best Western’s senior vice president and chief operations officer. “The midmarket hotels in China are where the opportunity really lies.” But just how differentiated are these newer brands, both in the marketplace and even just between one another? A description of Vib could easily be IHG’s newly debuted midscale Avid or Red Lion’s Hotel RL. Design for the “connected traveler,” with “social spaces,” guest rooms have plenty of USB ports and smart TVs. And words like “convenience, technology and social engagement.” What are the elements of Vib and Glo that are truly differentiated? Pohl says the true differentiation is in target markets. While you’d find both a Vib and Glo in Manhattan, you wouldn’t find a Vib in Des Moines, Iowa for instance.
