Mapping for Equity: A New Way to Map NYC’s Public Amenities

Council Member Jennifer Gutierrez, North Brooklyn Parks Alliance (NBPA), and BetaNYC are excited to launch a new way to map NYC’s public realm!

BetaNYC’s Civic Innovation Fellows will present their efforts on the Mapping for Equity project and how to create more equitable and accessible mapped spaces. We will show you how we’re mapping north Brooklyn’s parks and public spaces into OpenStreetMap.

Through this activity, we are making sure there is equal representation in data while quantifying and mapping our public realm. Together, we will site, count, and map community assets to better steward.

This event will be delivered in English and all ages are welcome to attend (provided that anyone under 18 years old is present with a parent or guardian). We will be moving about the city and on uneven terrain. Plan on wearing appropriate footwear and environmental attire. If you have any needs or accommodations, please email [email protected].

Please RSVP by Fri, Aug 18th at 12 PM.
