Boston Data Landscapes: Visualizing the Urban Experience

Every day, enormous amounts of data are collected about Boston’s people, natural environment, and infrastructure. What can that data tell us about who we are?

Join the Museum of Science as twenty student designers unveil a stunning series of data visualizations that take you on a journey through the many stories of Boston, from the future of our city’s changing coastline to the secret lives of its trees.

We will explore how a landmark becomes a landmark, what our public spaces tell us about why we gather in them, and what our public transit system means for our democracy. Along the way, we hope to reimagine our city from a different perspective and find new, joyful, and meaningful ways of understanding it.

This collaboration is part of the Museum’s Year of the Earthshot, an exploration of the climate solutions and the actions we can take now to live sustainably on Earth.
