About this episode
In NYC's recent municipal elections, voters weighed in on 6 ballot measures. The measure with the most support at the ballot box tasks a city agency with creating and maintaining a singular digital map of NYC. What might be useful to include on such a map? Public bathrooms? Flood-prone intersections? Third spaces? Listeners call in to share their suggestions. Plus, Noel Hidalgo , founder of the civic software non-profit BetaNYC, and Steven Romalewski , founding director of CUNY Mapping Service at Center for Urban Research, share their insights on the value of interactive urban maps, open civic data and more about urban cartography for the digital age.
