I spent two weeks in Hawaiʻi during the summer studying parking, transit infrastructure, and urban life in Honolulu with my classmates from the Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation at Columbia University. We walked every single curb in Honolulu with the Coord app, met with the wonderful people who keep Honolulu running, produced GIS data, flew some drones, made maps and data visualizations, and of course… relished in the overwhelming beauty of nature.
My team—classmates from Columbia GSAPP from the Urban Planning and Architecture departments—created a report on parking in the Ala Moana neighborhood of Honolulu, Hawaiʻi that is published on the Columbia GSAPP website.
