Description

Millennial Cities seeks to “serve as an all-purpose hub for interactive, data-driven visualization tools” and to support “planners, changemakers, and curious observers” by collecting publicly available web-mapping applications. The platform categorizes over 100 tools under themes such as culture, economy, environment, government, health, housing, justice, and transportation. Geographically, it provides dedicated pages listing state-level and city-level applications—for example, road-use dashboards for Baton Rouge, short-term rental maps for New Orleans, and transit-camera viewers for King County, WA

Tool Outcome

By centralizing links to interactive geospatial applications, Millennial Cities enables users to:

  • Discover authoritative data on infrastructure and services—such as traffic patterns, flood zones, or property information—without navigating multiple agency sites.

  • Engage stakeholders through embedded story maps and dashboards that facilitate community input on planning proposals and resilience measures.

  • Accelerate analysis by offering direct access to specialized tools—such as wetlands mapping, election-results visualizers, and stormwater management apps—thereby reducing time spent sourcing and validating data
