pOn February 25th, a href=”http://www.anothercupdevelopment.org/”The Center for Urban Pedagogy/a (CUP) is hosting a pop-up workshop in the Lower East Side to launch their “Affordable Housing Toolkit,” the first of the ema href=”http://envisioningdevelopment.net/”Envisioning Development Toolkits/a/em. This series aims to “demystify the most important, controversial and confusing concepts in land use and development in New York City,” bringing the public into the conversation through an interactive set of educational materials./p

pThe Affordable Housing kit comes with an interactive felt chart that breaks affordable housing down into legible visuals, an a href=”http://www.anothercupdevelopment.org/affordablehousingbook.zip”affordable housing guidebook/a (the first ever illustrated guide on the topic), and an a href=”http://envisioningdevelopment.net/map”online map/a that instantly charts the income demographics and housing costs of any neighborhood in New York City./p

pBelow, a short video produced by CUP that outlines the basics:/p
