The goal of this project is to build a web-based dashboard that allows City departments to keep track of infrastructure investments and measure their equity across different neighborhoods. The Mayor's Office of New Urban Mechanics is focused on creating innovative and equitable services for the residents of Boston. The proposed dashboard will help City departments monitor their infrastructure investments, analyze and visualize trends over time, and identify any disparities in the distribution of these investments. The dashboard will be built using frequently updated open data and will include a map-based view of infrastructure investments and various charts to spot trends. The project will be built using the latest technology in GIS and web mapping platforms. The proposed dashboard will be a valuable tool for City departments in measuring and improving equity in their infrastructure investments. The project has the potential to improve the quality of life for residents of Boston by identifying disparities in the distribution of investments and helping City departments to address these disparities. The project will also serve as a model for other cities looking to measure and improve equity in their infrastructure investments.
