Traditionally, planners use data on demographics, revenue, nearby businesses, and aggregated human flow, much of which is expensive to gather. But the expense is worth it, because when it comes to foot traffic, even a few feet can make a huge difference. “Open a new coffee shop in one street corner and it may thrive with hundreds of customers. Open it a few hundred meters down the road and it may close in a matter of months,” explains University of Cambridge researcher Anastasios Noulas and colleagues in a new paper that puts a social spin on choosing the best retail location.

In addition to the usual geographical data, Noulas’s team wanted to see if adding freely available Foursquare check-in data combined with Machine Learning algorithms to the mix could help planners choose better locations. The team found that the check-in patterns for each of the three chains were unique. August 14, 2013. 1378282 10152241752527786 300201367 n.
