SUMMARY:Street Trees and Housing Markets: An Open-Data Analysis of NYC's Urban Greening
DESCRIPTION:Street tree planting delivers well-documented environmental and public health benefits\, but it also interacts with housing markets in complex ways. This virtual session uses open data to explore how urban greening strategies may shape housing prices and rents in New York City. \nDrawing on NYC Open Data and other publicly available housing\, demographic\, and environmental datasets\, the presentation will walk through the data sources\, modeling approach\, and key findings of this analysis. The session also features a live demonstration of a web-based interactive simulation tool that allows participants to explore different tree-planting scenarios and their potential market impacts\, supporting more informed\, transparent\, and equitable decision-making around urban greening investments. This session is designed for planners\, policymakers\, researchers\, advocates\, and community members. No technical background is required. \nThe project is led by Dr. Hanxue Wei\, Industry Assistant Professor at NYU’s Center for Urban Science + Progress (CUSP). Archy Guo\, Graduate Research Assistant at CUSP\, is leading the presentation and conducting the core analytical work. The project team also includes Dr. Max Vilgalys\, Climate Policy Analyst at NYC Office of Management and Budget\, and Dr. Alex Azan\, Assistant Professor at NYU Langone Health.

SUMMARY:Echo{logies}\, Data Through Design Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Echo{logies} is the 2026 exhibition of Data Through Design\, an independent collective who organize an annual art exhibition featuring works that creatively analyze\, interpret\, and interrogate data made available on NYC Open Data. \nVisiting the Exhibition\nThe exhibition is open to the public daily from 12pm to 7 pm during Open Data Week. On March 21\, we will host an opening event that requires RSVP. \nWhen: March 21 – April 5\, 2026\, 12:00pm – 7:00pm \nWhere: BRIC\, 647 Fulton Street (at Rockwell Place)\, Brooklyn\, NY 11217 \nOpening Event: Saturday\, March 21\, 6:30 – 8:30 PM; RSVP. \nAbout Echo{logies}\nThe projects in Echo{logies} work with the bodies of knowledge\, or “-logies”\, that reverberate through New York City’s data. They explore ecosystems and cycles of life expressed in data; the rhythms of growth\, decay\, renewal\, and transformation as they “echo” through data\, and the interplay between human and non-human worlds. \nThis year’s theme engages with questions such as: How can the city\, and data itself\, be understood as ecological and cyclical? How might data be materialized\, embodied\, or inscribed by natural processes? What accumulates\, erodes\, regenerates\, lingers as traces\, or resonates as echoes? \nThe work in this exhibition makes data felt\, witnessed\, or transformed—through physicalization\, interaction\, or by exposing how nature itself records and inscribes change. The artworks engage with living systems\, natural or urban ecologies\, or information ecosystems\, and examine materiality and craft\, murmurations and flows\, entropy and genesis\, and the sublime scale of ecological change. \n\nDesire Paths: Becca Ellsworth & Becca Odell\nHartLine: Ian Callender & Karla Rothstein\nLandscape Workshop: Mark Heller & Mariel Collard Arias\nLinger Loiter: Charlotte Gartenberg & Ivan Himanen\nMetropolitan Cuneiform: Jingrong Zhang\nThe Oracle of Gotham: Karissa Whiting & Elizabeth Costa\nTurnstile Murmurations: Trpti Sanghvi\nUrban Data Orchestra: Composing the Hidden Rhythms of the City: Elina Oikonomaki & Lukas Lesina Debiasi\nWaste Rhythms: Living Records of NYC Communities: HaoChe Hung & Tianxing (Vincent) Zhu\nWild Lots: Craig Fahner & al haley\n\nEcho{logies} is organized and curated by the 2026 Data Through Design team: Julia Bloom\, Tereza Chanaki\, Rachel Daniell\, Jack Darcey\, Sara Eichner\, Justin Roberts\, and Can Sucuoğlu.

SUMMARY:Open Data and Better Questions: Engaging New Yorkers to Develop Questions that Matter in the Age of AI
DESCRIPTION:As one of the largest open data providers in the world—with data accessed more than 2.6 million times and downloaded from a total of more than 900\,000 times—NYC Open Data has critical information about how New Yorkers live. But a question remains: For what end? What questions do we want these systems to answer? What problems do we want to solve? \nOn Friday\, March 27th from 2:00 PM to 3:30 PM at Brooklyn Central Library\, The GovLab\, the Brooklyn Public Library and Alliance for Public Interest Technology at New York University will be hosting a special “Questions Lab” as part of New York City Open Data Week 2026. In it\, we will give New Yorkers the opportunity to formulate good\, data-driven questions about the issues they care about and to meaningfully connect those questions to specific datasets in NYC Open Data or other\, non-traditional repositories. It will include a brief presentation followed by small group discussion on the questions that New Yorkers care about:\n– 2:00 – 2:20 PM: Setting the Scene: Stefaan Verhulst (Co-Founder\, The GovLab)\, Diana Plunkett (Director of Data Analytics\, Brooklyn Public Library)\, and Manny Patole (Senior Fellow\, Alliance for Public Interest Technology) will explain the work that Brooklyn Library and The GovLab are doing to help residents not only understand data that describes them but to engage with it meaningfully to solve problems they care about.\n– 2:20 – 2:50: Topic Mapping and Question Definition: Attendees will be broken into small groups and taught how to define data-driven questions. Each group will focus on a different domain prioritized by the New York Mayor’s Office.\n– 2:50 – 3:30: Group Voting on Questions and Debrief: Each group will present their questions. Referencing NYC Open Data and other datasets\, the collective group will identify what data might exist in New York to answer these questions. They will then vote on which questions they consider the highest priority based on demand\, actionability\, and the larger regulatory context. \nThe end result of this work will be a prioritized mapping of the questions that matter for New Yorkers. This event is open to any New York resident interested in data and how it can be used to set a policy agenda. Participants will leave the event with a practical methodology for developing well-crafted\, data-driven questions and the work they produce will inform new open data research.

SUMMARY:NYC PIT Pop Up: CUNY Open Data Takeover Day Five
DESCRIPTION:As part of NYC Open Data Week 2026\, the CUNY Public Interest Technology (PIT) Lab will host a week-long Open Data Takeover of the NYC PIT Pop-Up at the Oculus / World Trade Center. The activation advances Open Data Week’s goals of accessibility\, civic learning\, and practical use of open data by bringing open data projects into a highly visible\, public-facing space. Attendees can drop in at any time during the hours below for a demonstration of the tool and to speak with the presenter. Most of the demos will also be streamed live from the Pop-Up on its Twitch (https://www.twitch.tv/cunypitlab). Inside the Oculus\, the Pop-Up is located on the Main Floor C2\, in the South Concourse\, at Shop #53 (next to M.A.C. Cosmetics). View the full PIT Lab schedule. No RSVP needed\, just stop by! \n[2pm–6pm]\nMike Spade – DuBois Does Data\n35 years after slavery\, Du Bois set out to provide a definitive image of the Negro condition in the United States. His data efforts not only quantified economic parity or lack thereof\, he also focused on where people lived\, and how they lived. During the 1900 Paris Exposition\, he shared his findings with the world. But how do those findings hold up 125 years later? What has changed? Has anything stayed the same? At Du Bois Does Data\, engage with his visuals\, portraits\, and data in a multi-sensory experience. Scents derived from the life and experience of W.E.B. Playlists charting the course of Black American music from his birth to his death\, a day before the “I Have A Dream Speech.” Books celebrating his work and a first edition copy of his completed passion project\, Africana. Curated vintage stamps in his image\, portraits\, and his article in Africana will serve as activations for A/R experiences\, bringing the nostalgia into the palm of your hand. In Du Bois Does Data\, we also used Python to evaluate the condition of Black Americans 125 years after his exhibit using Census data in 6 Jupyter Notebooks. \nRay Brescia – Gamifying Know-Your-Rights Information\nThis presentation will explore the power of gamification and then describe one current work in progress\, an online game\, “Haunted Housing\,” that is designed in partnership with community-based advocacy organizations in New York City to educate youth\, particularly from immigrant communities\, about housing rights.  Gamification can be utilized in many other contexts–from immigrants’ rights to school discipline–and I will describe our ground-up method for developing this tool and encourage others to explore similar initiatives in other contexts. \nMerlin Valdez – VoteFeed.org\nVoteFeed.org is a Twitter/Bluesky-like user experience that allows constituents to interact with their respective U.S. representative in congress by sharing their opinion on policies up for vote in the legislative agenda.
