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.
