This paper suggests that urban informatics need not be limited by a system or a tool—it can represent a flow of information from diverse and voluminous data into and back from the planning process. This paper presents a proof-of-concept of how an urban informatics approach can improve public understandings of essential information in the planning process and how it can make planning processes more democratic and participatory, especially for dis-advantaged groups. Specifically, this study uses a multi-dimensional spatial scan technique to discover household movement patterns in Chicago from millions of household address records between 2006 and 2015. The results locate the types of movement and displacement associated with specific places with a highly detailed spatial resolution. An interactive user-interface is developed to enhance sharing of the information to the general public and soliciting feedback.
