The map and colored stickers was a practical and appealing way to get people involved. The map drew people towards our table, and the stickers clearly communicated how community members felt about certain places in Bed-Stuy.

A way to expand this exercise would be to turn it into an online tool. The green and red dots can be replaced by a broader and more nuanced icons that demonstrate specific pros and cons of a place. What do you think?

Who wouldn’t want to get involved that way? What other ways can be used to track peoples’ emotions toward their spaces?
