The following link is from the UN Global Pulse website. It refers to the use of big data in determining and modelling resilience building in cities modelled on 6 core systems
(a) people; (b) business; (c) transport; (d) communication; (e) water; and energy.
Interested readers to this topics should also look at the studies developed by Heffernan (2011) (9) and Scharmer & Kaufer (2013) (10).

"The document is definitely a draft sketch linking urban areas, resilience, and (big) data in developing and emerging regions. In such nexus new questions arise daily, and the number of unanswered ones outweigh that of the questions we have been able to providing meaningful answers so far.
Data-driven analytics seem to incarnate the possibility of providing timely and theoretically unbiased look to citizens’ behaviors, thus providing institutions with a privileged advantage to provide them meaningful feedbacks. Nevertheless, this is a brand new territory, to which we are not able to draw definite boundaries: quite possibly, we would need to invent new maps to chart these challenges and opportunities."
