Shelters in NYC
A map showing the number of shelters by community district in New York City in a 3D scene. This map was created with Alex Strada, Public Artist in Residence with the New York City Department of Homeless Services and the Department of Cultural Affairs. The map goal is to depict the relation between the number of shelters and the skyline height in the city as a way to draw attention into their spatial distribution.
