    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.

By that measure buildings with very low energy use and onsite renewables, and their utility grid interactions, are the hottest topics in our industry . The terminology and dialog around these buildings has exploded since we began our research on zero net energy (ZNE) buildings in 2009 and published our leading reports and lists in 2012 and 2014 . NBI has engaged in nearly every facet of these discussions and debates, from government to designers to owners . And while the terminology and definitions vary by entity and organization, from zero net energy to net zero energy to zero energy buildings to zero net carbon buildings to living buildings, they share a common objective—to reduce environmental impacts associated with energy use in buildings .
