URBAN MOBS

Today's modern communication tools are a privileged way to instantly share feelings. Wherever people are communicating, being it in France for the World Music Day or New Year's Night, Poland for St. John's Night or Spain and Romania at a football match, these cities live and breathe at their own communications pace.

Urban Mobs provide a tool to study crowd communication activities and paint a “ popular emotion cartography ”
