Spatial equity is a way to understand how public space — including streets, sidewalks and green spaces — is used but also made unusable.
Our new #SpatialEquityNYC report card details the impact of these decisions on our health, environment & mobility.

#SpatialEquityNYC uses public data to map and rank everything from bus speeds to noise pollution.
Our tool visualizes data across 15 indicators in all 51 council districts and 59 community boards, providing a new understanding of how NYC uses public space, and the consequences.

By reclaiming space from cars, we can make #NYC25x25 a reality and build public spaces that better serve the needs of all New Yorkers.
Sign our new petition. Urge your Council Member to make a plan to end spatial inequity in your neighborhood now.

High asthma rates in nearly the entire BX?! Let's NOT drastically reduce VMT and pollution here, let's concentrate that work in the wealthy Manhattan CBD, diverting MORE trucks and pollution into the BX. We need #CitywideZonedTolling, not a plan designed by and for Manhattanites
