City Atlas Workshops at Parsons and Hunter

In a pilot col­lab­o­ra­tion with two col­lege pro­grams, an under­grad design work­shop at Par­sons worked with his­tor­i­cal data gath­ered by a Hunter urban plan­ning class, to cre­ate infor­ma­tion graph­ics about New York’s water, waste and mass tran­sit sys­tems. Our goal is to cre­ate a con­tin­u­ous edu­ca­tional rela­tion­ship with design schools, pro­vid­ing both stu­dents and pub­lic with an ongo­ing cre­ative study of how the city devel­oped, how it works now, and how it can work in the future.
