02 WILD GIS CHASE
Wild GIS Chase is a collaboration with a colleague in which we use different techniques to tell stories about urban life, in the spirit of Jane’s Walk, an annual celebration of city life, histories, and stories through in-person and virtual volunteer-led tours. To date, we’ve created a storymap about the bird habitats of Queens, NY as well as a viritual tour of a section of Steinway Street in Queens famously called “Little Egypt.”

04 SITE X SITE
SITE x SITE, a grant-funded project by MAS and the Regional Plan Association, investigated the efficiacy of ‘soft site’ analysis under the City Environmental Quality Review (CEQR) process, in which rezoning proposals must be evaluated for impacts stemming from anticipated and potential new development. The analysis and companion webtool was developed with technical support from the Spatial Analysis & Visualization Initiative at Pratt Institute.
