SUMMARY:Civic Media for Advocacy Across Amenity Gaps with Augmented Reality
DESCRIPTION:While initiatives like Mapping for Equity document what exists (or doesn’t exist) in public spaces\, these gaps must be communicated or demonstrated so that community demand for invisible\, unbuilt amenities can be recorded. Open Streetmap has a few ways to note desire or proposed amenities\, but civic media can also help. inCitu\, a NYC-based augmented reality company\, proposes AR as a tool to bridge this gap: by combining data from projects like Mapping for Equity and Spatial Equity NYC with augmented reality (AR) visualization\, communities can create compelling artifacts\, like AR videos and mockups\, that advocate for repair\, preservation\, and creation of public space infrastructure where it’s needed most. This session will present a sample workflow\, from scanning an existing amenity to creating an AR video of it in a new location\, and will be followed by open discussion on civic design considerations how this method might contribute to existing efforts.

SUMMARY:Mapping Green Space Access: Turn Data into Community Action
DESCRIPTION:A workshop that uses NYC Open Data to map green space access gaps\, not just where parks exist\, but who can actually reach them. We’ll identify transit barriers\, unsafe pedestrian routes\, and vacant lots with conversion potential\, then equip participants with concrete tools to turn that analysis into community advocacy. \nThe core question isn’t whether parks are near enough\, it’s whether people can access them. A park two miles away with no bus route might as well not exist for the people who need it most. Participants will learn to map those gaps and identify actionable solutions: Which bus route needs extending? Which vacant lot could become a neighborhood green space? Which crosswalk is missing? This workshop is about democratizing spatial analysis so that communities\, not just planners\, have the data to advocate for themselves. \nBy the end\, participants will have learned what it takes to create a working map of access gaps in a neighborhood of their choosing\, a set of targeted recommendations\, and guidance on how to present that data to the decision-makers who can act on it. \nThis event will be held at the Little Red School House\, 272 Avenue of the Americas.

SUMMARY:PriceWise - A grocery prices database built by and for budget-conscious communities
DESCRIPTION:Food prices are too *&#$ high! \nEveryone is talking about grocery price inflation\, but how do we really figure out individual item price changes? Let alone keep track of prices across different stores and neighborhoods? In combination with recessionary trends and other food justice issues\, it’s stressful for budget-conscious people to make well-informed buying decisions. \nThis talk will demo an exciting new community tool PriceWise. This web application creates a database of food prices to help families and individuals easily digitize their grocery receipts and work together to pool that data across their community. The tool uses NYC OpenData to connect these prices with stores and neighborhoods. \nDesigner and developer Shiva Muthiah will talk about how and why they built this tool\, and discuss why making food pricing more legible can help policy-makers address food justice challenges.

SUMMARY:Databook Update: Data Supporting Civil Service and Tech Procurement Reform
DESCRIPTION:WeGovNYC’s Databook (databook.nyc) is a data pipeline that indexes\, normalizes\, and republishes over 60 NYC Open Data datasets as a publicly accessible API and into an interface that offers in-depth profiles of City agencies\, public schools\, civil service titles\, contracts and much more. \nOur recent focus is providing tools for people interested in reforming civil service titles and technology procurement. We FOILed for civil service title descriptions\, extracted their data\, integrated it into Databook along with data visualizations at databook.nyc/titles. We also extracted all data from PassportPublic and Checkbook.NYC to create a new section in Databook connecting vendors\, solicitations\, agencies\, vendors and contracts at https://databook.nyc/procurement. \nWe will discuss all our tools as well as how we’ve adopted generative AI (vibe coding) to accelerate our development.

SUMMARY:Tracking NYC Trash: Using Open Data to Understand and Improve the City’s Waste System
DESCRIPTION:Every trash bag on the curb tells a story about what we buy\, what we waste\, and how our city works behind the scenes to manage it all. Yet for most New Yorkers\, what happens to our trash after collection remains largely invisible. This session pulls back the curtain\, showing how publicly available data can help residents better understand New York City’s waste system and use that knowledge to push for smarter\, fairer\, and more sustainable solutions. Led by the volunteer team behind Track NYC Trash — a project of the Brooklyn and Manhattan Solid Waste Advisory Boards — this session explores how open data can become a powerful tool for understanding waste management across the five boroughs. \nParticipants will receive a guided\, hands-on demonstration of the Track NYC Trash dashboards\, which translate complex datasets from the NYC Department of Sanitation and other agencies into clear\, accessible visuals. Using sources such as DSNY’s Monthly Tonnage Data\, the 2023 Waste Characterization Study\, and Census-based population figures\, this session will highlight key trends in recycling\, composting\, waste export\, and neighborhood-level performance. Attendees will learn how to interpret these numbers\, connect them to everyday experience\, and use them to better understand whether the City is meeting its stated waste and climate goals. \nDesigned for residents\, advocates\, students\, journalists\, public servants\, and curious neighbors\, this event welcomes anyone who cares about their community and wants better information to support meaningful change. No technical background is required. Participants will leave with practical tools to engage in data-informed advocacy — and with a deeper sense of how open data can help build a cleaner\, more transparent\, and more accountable New York City.
