This is really very cool. The ability to compare urban areas allover the world is brilliant. I can see lots of discussions generated by this.

global interconnections!!
Adrian Bahan (MNPS)'s curator insight, March 14, 2016 8:04 PM

I was absolutely delighted to see this film on the big screen...it was as visually stunning as any film I'd ever seen.  I and my young children were mesmerized.  So much of the modern world that we take for granted is absolutely revolutionary.  This is a great teacher's guide to teaching with this film.

All the roads that lead to Rome

All the roads that lead to Rome | Notebook or My Personal Learning Network | Scoop.it
From flowingdata.com - January 24, 2016 11:00 AM

"As the saying goes, 'All roads lead to Rome.' Folks at the moovel lab were curious about how true this statement is, so they tested it out. They laid a grid on top of Europe, and then algorithmically found a route from each cell in the grid to Rome, resulting in about half a million routes total. Yep, there seems to be a way from Rome from every point."

But many roads didn't leave Rome ... a small detail that has been lost to history.
