Chinatown
For community organizations serving the Chinese and Chinese American neighborhoods in American cities, we are an initiative leveraging the power of digital tools and spatial data analytics to help them document place identity, visualize housing challenges and opportunities, and incubate a sense of local belonging.

We are a group of passionate researchers and designers from MIT and Harvard University.
We work with local community partners, such as Chinatown Progressive Association and the Community Land Trust, and build tools to engage lower-income and aging communities in the urban planning process using digital platforms, which better collects inputs from local residents and visualize challenges and opportunities.
