Acknowledgments
There were a lot of people involved in the past year in the creation of the content
of urbanTick. Foremost I would like to thank Andy Hudson-Smith who actually
persuaded me to write this blog, but also supported me throughout the year and
still does. Thanks go to the supporting CASA team, especially Mike Batty as one
of my supervisors, also to Andrew Crooks and Duncan Smith for continuous in-
put and encouragement, Richard Milton for great technical advice and information.
Thanks for graphic and layout advice go to Urs Stampfli of P’inc. I am also grate-
ful to my fellow PhD researchers Ateen Patel, Sung-Hyun Jang, Taneha Bacchin,
Joel Dearden, James Cheshire and Daniel Lewis. Also a big thanks goes to all the
participants of the UrbanDiary project who have been or still are carrying the GPS
tracking device to collect data. I also want to thank Sandra and Malik for support
and their tolerance of late nights and sleepy mornings.
