“Maps in the Public Square” Exhibit
As mentioned in the most recent Time Out Chicago!
Maps are not only tools to get you from point A to point B. They can also expose visually an important story about resource patterns and trends of a defined area. They tackle social questions like, “Are Starbucks an indicator of gentrification?” or “Do lower-income communities have less access to fresh produce?” Depicting instances like these help community members and planners better deal with the needs of an area that may not always be clear.
