Description

In Detroit, the digital divide is stopping various user groups from accessing community resources preventing them from connecting with the neighborhood network or revitalization of the city. I am building two methods of information dissemination to give everyone equal access to the same curated resource list for the Woodbridge neighborhood, one being an interactive map/database, the other being a placemaking community kiosk for people to share and learn about resources.
