Campau-Banglatown Neighborhood Development Plan
This neighborhood development plan emerged from a comprehensive research process based on an evaluation of historical and existing conditions of the Campau-Banglatown Neighborhood in Detroit, Michigan. Using data gathered from national and local sources, a series of maps developed during the initial Creative Analysis phase of the project revealed intersections of cultural, social, economic, and political needs and assets that in turn served as the basis for the ensuing equitable planning efforts.
Black Spaces Matter
Beacon Hill, home to the Massachusetts State House and some of Boston’s oldest historic buildings, was also the home of Boston’s largest African-American community in the 18th century. This interactive map was part of the Black Spaces Matter initiative by the Boston Architectural College, which sought to map and thus make visible historic African-American communities in and around Boston. The dashboard amasses publicly available data on land, property, and development plans in and around Beacon Hill to make this information accessible to the communities affected by it.
Urban Form Impact Climate Dashboard
Urban development is the largest contributor to climate change. This interactive data dashboard was developed to analyze social and spatial data to explore the impacts of urban form on social capital, environment, climate change resilience, and health. The data offer detailed granular analysis of climate change events, down to the scale of the urban block, in order to assess which demographic communities are most vulnerable to climate change events. The data displayed in turn help urban change makers assess the impacts of proposed urban developments.
Calculating the Cost of Plastic Bags
As part of its campaign to institute a state-wide ban on plastic grocery bags (which succeeded in 2018), we created this interactive map for the Mass Green Network so that residents could see the economic and environmental impact of plastic bags on their local communities.
Urban Open Data
UOD gathers the open data sites of cities and countries around the world
into a single interactive map.
The map grew out of our commitment to information sharing and reflects
our contribution to making publicly
generated data publicly accessible.
The Great Migration
Between 1910 and 1970, over 6 million African Americans in the U.S. migrated from southern towns to northern cities. This interactive maps the African-American population in each county between 1790 and 2010.
