Description
Data is an environmental justice issue. This presentation will feature recent work to visualize environmental (in)justice in New York City to shape municipal policy priorities.
How can compelling visualization be used to steer municipal environmental policy and resources towards creative and effective solutions? How might data visualization approaches engage with the ways that data availability reflects histories of inequality and environmental racism? How might data-driven methods be brought into better alignment with lived experiences and situated knowledges?
The team behind information visualizations for PlaNYC, the NYC Environmental Justice Report and Plan, and the NYC Urban Forest Plan will share approaches to analysis and public communication of information related to climate justice in New York City.
