Mapping Inequality
A UX Cartographic exploration into how the redlining practices of the past have created the environmental racism that exists in present-day central Kansas City, MO.
Below: A still image of the interactive vector map illustrating the environmental impact differences between a greenlined zone and a redlined zone in Kansas City, MO.
As the user interacted with the map by clicking on the yellow icons, a photograph would pop up of the environmental impact that was found at that icon's location within the zone. Below you can see 4 examples of the map's screens and findings.
Redlined Zone: railroad tracks and their environmental impact.
Redlined Zone: Garbage and Recycling Bin accessibility.
Greenlined Zone: Contrasting its garbage and recycling bin accessibility.
Greenlined Zone: Lush landscaping and the environmental impact of water usage.
This short video walkthrough shows the prototype UX in action.
