Description How can a mobile operator’s data on present population be used for urban planning, by Martin Dvořák and Jan Zvara How many people are there in the city of Brno? This seemingly simple question can be answered correctly in various ways. The Czech Statistical Office says it is 382,000, the Ministry of the Interior, 374,000 (Czech citizenship holders only), and the Register of Inhabitants, 411,000 (permanent residents including those registered at administrative addresses). Data from a mobile operator indicate that 491,000 people are present in the rush hour. However, it is important to know how these numbers are generated and how to work with them. This can be highly disparate and affect various domains, such as planning of transportation to new neighbourhoods and capacities of education institutions.
