Mapping for Equity: Mapping NYC’s Public Amenities in NYC Council District 33 with BetaNYC
June 26 @ 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM EDT
BetaNYC is excited to share a new way to map NYC’s public realm in New York City Council District 33!
BetaNYC will present the Mapping for Equity project and how to create more equitable and accessible mapped spaces. We will show you how we’re mapping parks and public spaces into OpenStreetMap.
Through this activity, we are making sure there’s equal representation in data while quantifying and mapping our public realm. Together, we will site, count, and map community assets such as street lamps, benches, water fountains, trash cans, and picnic tables.
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 events@beta.nyc.
Please RSVP by 12pm on Wednesday, June 25
