Industry in motion: using smart phones to explore the spatial network of the garment industry in New York City.

Industrial agglomerations have long been thought to offer economic and social benefits to firms and people that are only captured by location within their specified geographies. Using the case study of New York City's garment industry along with data acquired from cell phones and social media,...
