Art students make three maps a year detailing local Chicago neighborhoods. They identify sites that help residents and tourists make ethical consumer choices during their daily experience of the city. In our map planning process, we conduct an intensive historical study that informs us how the neighborhood came to be to its contemporary form and function. After ground-truthing every block in a neighborhood and contextualizing it in historical research, we design a computer-generated map that artistically represents each neighborhood. In the process we also identify toxic spots and social inequities that need to be addressed throughout the city.
