I began by finding the PDF of each city’s most recent comprehensive plan document and then began reading through to find the information I was looking for. From there, I was able to build a webmap that pulled in the data and was able to use a Leaflet plugin to show the locations of each consultant team connected to the city of the plan in question. I’m interested in using this data to look at the private planning industry in the United States and the way that this industry creates similarlies across urban policy in the US. ︎︎︎ Site ︎︎︎ Data ︎︎︎ Project Code <img width="1653" height="870" width_o="1653" height_o="870" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/679a1f1c3ccf777d3873c6eae74233daaddf97c9c8323e2ada28f05df0b4bfc6/Comp-Plans.png" data-mid="80812516" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/679a1f1c3ccf777d3873c6eae74233daaddf97c9c8323e2ada28f05df0b4bfc6/Comp-Plans.png" /> https://emilyrbowe.com/692-692-A-State-of-Textception Fri, 21 Aug 2020 23:36:14 +0000 Emily Bowe https://emilyrbowe.com/692-692-A-State-of-Textception Academic Project Work: Research, data collection, design, code Location: New York Date: 2020 This was the result of a class project exploring the NotifyNYC texts that the City of New York began sending in March 2020 about COVID-19.
