Mapping the Hood Day – May 21, 2011 #NYC #nycwiki #bikenyc #gis #android @MappingTheHood
Mapping the Hood is conceived as a mapping initiative to define and empower New York City neighborhoods. It seeks to generate neighborhood maps by piggybacking on Transportation Alternatives’ 2011 Bikemonth. The maps will initially be displayed on NYCwiki.org, a dotNeighborhood’s development site. Later, with the activation of the .nyc TLD, they will be used in support of the city’s neighborhoods in sites such as Astoria.nyc, BrooklynHeights.nyc, Chelsea.nyc…
This Saturday May 21 2011Â participating bikers will activate the My Tracks app on their Android phones, slip the phone in their pocket or backpack, circumnavigate their neighborhood (perhaps adding some ID pins), then email the My Tracks file to ConnectingNYC. Contributors will receive an invite to a ‘Mapaganzza’Â event later that day.
