What a season! At Green Map NYC, we have been fortunate to keep moving forward:
Green Map’s show at MoRUS, the Museum of Reclaimed Urban Space, has continued all autumn in Manhattan's East Village. We have brought people together (distantly) for events, mapmaking and to delve into the maps on display. Through these events, such as the hands-on mapping event above, we have gained new supporters, volunteers and project partners. Some quick highlights:
Commemorating NYC Climate Week, our walking tour included the Avenue B 'open street', Village East Tower's super-efficient power & heat cogeneration plant and the array of energy innovations at La Plaza Cultural, a verdant community garden.
While we need a lot more of it, there are many kinds of storm-water absorbing green infrastructure around NYC. Here's the map (PDF here) we made for our tour for the self-guided 2020 Open House New York weekend - more on these events is at GreenMap.org/2020exhibit.
What's coming up? In addition to #GivingTuesday, where you can support our global program or our local work (with incentives on Dec 1!), we will host the fourth of our Demo Discussions for our mapping platform-in-development on Friday, Dec 4th at 2pm ET - join the zoom here. Our thanks to the GIS Collective's Mr. Szabo and Ms. Casapu for all their great work on the OGM2 platform! Watch for updates on instagram.com/green.map!
Our thanks to MoRUS Museum, the Grace Exhibition Space and Ms. Maucher, gardeners Ms. Canepa, Ms. Snyder and Mr. Keller, Mr. Di Paola, Ms. Meisel, Mr. Lanier and team at MoRUS, Ms. Ip and Ms. Arnow of East River Park Action, Open House NY, NYC Climate Week, Mr. Sage, Pair Networks and all who supported and took part in these events!
This Giving Tuesday - and everyday - we thank you for supporting this effort! Our local work informs our global network and vice versa. Keep it all rolling and stay safe everyone!
