The real city, not a basemap.

Every building comes from open data (the city’s own, OpenStreetMap and Overture Maps); the core of New York is modelled by hand. Each figure on the model says where it came from and how sure it is.

The 12 Fast Track community districts lit in red on the New York model, deeper where more affordable homes were built

12 districts, one fast track.

From January 2027, rezonings for housing in 12 community districts get a 90-day review. We put the 12 on the model, with every privately owned vacant lot and parking lot of 5,000 sf or more inside them.
