Why spend tens of millions of dollars on a
downtown library building in the age ofGoogle and ubiquitous Apple Stores?
Does anybody believe libraries are a waste
of taxpayer money? A misuse of good real-
estate?
What formal and informal functionsparticularly cultural functionsdoes the
library continue to serve?

Roundtable Discussions re: The High Line
How can libraries engage with
their publicsthrough formal,
institutional means?
How are libraries unique in their
relationships to a cityspublics?

we collect via public

How might
informal,grassroots libraries
generate data
regarding how ourinstitutionallibraries can
function more
responsively,effectively, and
efficiently?

Through its concentration of physical and cultural power,
the city heightened the tempo of human intercourse andtranslated its products into forms that could be stored and
reproduced. Through its monuments, written records, andorderly habits of association, the city enlarged the scope of
all human activities, extending them backwards andforwards in time. By means of its storage facilities
(buildings, vaults, archives, monuments, tablets, books), thecity became capable of transmitting a complex culture from
generation to generation, for it marshalled together not onlythe physical means but the human agents needed to pass on
and enlarge this heritage. That remains the greatest of the
city's gifts. As compared with the complex human order ofthe city, our present ingenious electronic mechanisms forstoring and transmitting information are crude and limited.

Fast forward, and some have written of the this centurys
cities developing new artificial nervous systems, tosupersede those articulated metabolic systems of the 19th
century. These newer nervous systems, not centralised but
distributed, and predicated on digital networks of networks
in which every object is informational and every movementor behaviour is trackable, could combine to form a new
kind of lattice-like informational membrane, hovering
magically over the physical fabric of the city. As if one of
Calvinos imaginary cities comprised solely of information,
a limitless multidimensional data-based shadow structure
represents the life of the city in real-time.-Dan Hill, The Adaptive City City of Sound

[r]ecasting [of] all complex social situations either
as neatly defined problems with definite,
computable solutions or as transparent and self-
evident processes that can be easily optimizedifonly the right algorithms are in place!
