Objective

New York City is one of the most culturally diverse cities in the world.  As one of the top world destinations it is a heavily desired place to live, resulting in high density.  The incorporation of opportunity for recreation becomes increasingly important with such dense proportions and weaving this into the fabric of the city is vital for everyday life on the human scale.   In a city where every parcel of land maintains high value, the decisions as to where such recreational facilities are distributed are often established in a biased manner.  By mapping out demographic patterns including race and income, it is my objective to illustrate the unequal distribution of recreation establishments, fresh food markets, and parks across the city landscape.
