Regulating efficiency.

The city is a metabolic system with a certain efficiency. It demands energy at one time node and produces things at another through every movement or activity within. During this operation, the ability of a city of maximizing its output (comfort, profits, regularity, resilience, capacity, etc.) given a set of inputs or minimizing the use of its resources (energy consumption, time and financial cost, inputs, etc.) to obtain a given output, is highly valued.

Among them, reasonable regulation of every city component (building, people, vehicles, etc) is considered the most effective way to improve city efficiency. The datasets we learned gave us a clue about regulating these kinds of activity or movement, reducing redundancies when transiting, using the most critical way that makes the city available for all the objects operating at the accurate spot, contributing to a stronger metabolic system, and thus optimize the efficiency.

Through these iterations and rules, the project regulating the efficiency tries to capture the idea that every movement of city objects including people, products, and vehicles, is regulated and explicit, so as to increase city efficiency and thus create a better city outcome.
