Here's a detailed look inside NYU's planned applied-sciences campus in Brooklyn, whose mission is to collect and analyze giant data sets to help solve common urban problems, from noise pollution to parking to how to hail a cab. The first class of students matriculates to the (somewhat Brave New World-ly named) Center for Urban Science & Progress this fall; relocation to the new Jay Street outpost will cost the school $60M. For once, thank goodness, all eyes aren't on NYU's rabid Manhattan expansion. [Crain's]
