The creative coding project I researched was the NYC Homeless Shelter Metrics Map by Sajit Thomas. Sajit used Esri, a geographic information system company, to create this map. This map details the amount of shelters in NYC while showing their location and relativity to essentials, such as hospitals and other shelters. With this much thought and details I believe it took 1-3 months to complete this project. Finding each shelter's capacity, location, and travel routes in its own can take up to a month. Although creating the map can be done by one person alone, finding the real life information we need a team of at least 10+ to help the project move at a steady pace. Below I will be linking the Metric Map.
