Mapping Inequality
Where you live shouldn't determine how you breathe.
​In Atlanta, the lines drawn on maps nearly a century ago still shape who gets clean air, green spaces, and a healthy life. “Mapping Equality” uncovers the legacy of redlining-a policy that once marked Black neighborhoods as “hazardous” and cut them off from investment. Today, those same neighborhoods face higher pollution, fewer parks, and soaring rates of asthma.
​
By connecting historical maps to present-day health and environmental data, we reveal how inequality was built into the very geography of our city. Explore how these invisible boundaries continue to affect lives-and discover why understanding the past is the first step toward justice and a healthier Atlanta for all.
