If you’ve wondered why Google Maps doesn’t offer “most scenic walking route” (a top user request), apparently it’s because they want to help fix income inequality by sending you through low-income neighborhoods.<\/p>\n

kasey & @kaseyklimes \u2022 44m <\/p>\n

you see where this is going:<\/p>\n

because of its global scale, even a small shift in maps routing from a seemingly-innocuous (and frankly very useful!) feature could create a reinforcing feedback loop with spatial inequality.<\/p>\n

kasey @kaseyklimes \u2022 42m<\/p>\n

inadvertently diverting foot traffic from low-income streets to high-income streets takes revenue and potentially tax dollars from already struggling communities and funnels it instead to richer communities.<\/p>\n

always remember:<\/p>\n

we live (and build tools) in complex systems<\/p>\n

kasey @kaseyklimes \u2022 9m<\/p>\n

for context: ime this idea was usually discussed with regard to walking navigation specifically.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
