NYC’s Changing Landscape: Discover What’s Being Built Around You

We’ve all seen construction sites and scaffolding appear in our neighborhood, tried to peek through the cracks and wondered: what are they building over there? This presentation will showcase how publicly available NYC Department of Buildings data can be brought together and deployed to give New Yorkers and industry pros alike a birds eye view on what’s rising up in their communities, all at once and at a glance!

Join Bonnie Stefanick, New Yorker and citizen data scientist, through a high level overview of how the things that get built show up in permitting data using live demonstrations of data sets that capture the permitting process and a daily view of projects happening in NYC neighborhoods, while giving a peek under the hood at the data in action from how it is pulled from the open data APIs and brought to life in tools.
