Who “owns” the city?
They first looked at how much space there is in a city for moving around (ie the allocation/distribution ratios between cars, bikes, etc). The tool, “What the Street!?” is labelled as “The Mobility Space Report”, where the designers created an open-source public tool for exploring urban mobility spaces. They created a fun way to look at inequality of mobility spaces systematically AND interactively.

How does it work?
They use the data visualization tools of unrolling, packing, and ordering irregular shapes. Therefore, they packed and rolled all mobility spaces into rectangular bins to visualize the areas they take up, then the tool allows you to see the same shape on a regular satellite map.
