This map shows the inadequacy of New York City sidewalks in the age of social distancing


In a new map created by developer Meli Harvey, users are able to view the width of sidewalks across New York City. The data shows that most sidewalks do not offer enough space to maintain social distancing. 

Using data for New York City's sidewalk data set, Harvey developed a color coded map that visually illustrates sidewalk stats. Red and orange indicate areas that are "too narrow for social distancing;" yellow for areas that "may be difficult for social distancing;" green for areas where distancing "should be possible;" and blue for areas that are "great for social distancing."

A quick survey of the map shows the barren presence of wide sidewalks and the inevitable challenge that such a densely populated place will face. The development of the map comes as the City of New York moves to temporarily shut down a...

Wood Urbanism

Resim
Wood Urbanism: From the Molecular to the Territorial Daniel Ibañez, Jane Hutton, Kiel Moe (Editors) Actar Publishers , November 2019 Hardcover | 8 x 10-1/4 inches | 488 pages | English | ISBN: 978-1945150814 | $54.95 PUBLISHER'S DESCRIPTION : Wood holds unique and timely lessons for urbanization, yet it remains inadequately characterized in architecture, landscape architecture, and urbanism. From under-considered thermal properties to emerging manufacturing possibilities, from changing forestry regimes to larger carbon cycle dynamics, Wood Urbanism explores the unique material and scalar properties of wood, presenting it as a critical material for design today. It brings into conversation scholars and practitioners who focus on wood from a range of perspectives: from the working forest to the mid-rise building to the basic cell. Drawing from the inherent intelligence and depth of multiple disciplines, this book offers a transcalar perspective on the role of wood in cont...

Building a gentrification early warning system with big data

Resim
But what if there were a way to see gentrification long before the coffee shops, condos and Whole Foods appear? What if city planners and neighborhoods had an early warning system that could sniff out the changes just as they begin? [...] neighborhood advocates would have the opportunity to implement policies ranging from reserving affordable housing units to educating residents of their renting rights to helping small businesses negotiate long-term lease extensions. In his NPR piece, astrophysics professor Adam Frank explains how various big data sets, like housing prices, eviction records, census data, or social media usage, can be utilized for "predictive analytics" to detect early onsets of gentrification for specific neighborhoods at an increasingly high resolution — and what significant perils come with it.
