CityConnect
by Tanish Karmakar and Meric Onel.
Proposed to be the first web page loaded when connected to LinkNYC, CityConnect is a service aimed at both tourists and locals alike and provides them with an accessible and cohesive urban experience by mapping out nearby points of attractions, nearby events and nearby urban services (such as parking and emergency clinics)
We hope to make this possible by implementing technology offered by Google Maps API, Mapbox API and NYC Open Data. The prototypes suggest how our services would work in the real world.
Additionally to showcase our implementation of the aforementioned technology, we have made an interactive map of the NYC subway system and a customized map of NYC attractions.
