MapTime x GNW Fireside Chat: Mapping Hidden Patterns
Join us for a living room styled fireside conversation on the invisible side of maps. The most interesting patterns in a city aren't secret, they're just sitting in plain sight. Public records, open data, everyday streets: the information is often already there. What's rare is someone who actually looks. This is a conversation with people who did, and found stairways, civic patterns, and stories most of us walk past every day. They'll talk about what they found, why it mattered, what it reveals and what it's worth once you know where to look.
The cozy evening features:
Alexandra Kenin, Urban Trails Book and sfstairwayspotter.com
Jesse Garnier, SFBay.ca
Michael Adams, The Civilization Lab
We will start with a brief interactive intro and demo then a Q&A and open the room for further discussion.
Light bites and refreshments provided.
