When New York City resident and urban planner Jimin Park found herself surrounded by urban noise, she decided to do something constructive about it. She created an app called "Right Avenues," which residents can use to file noise complaints to 311 and identify the type of noise and the location so that it can be tracked on a map and viewed by the public. Ultimately the app can be used to aggregate noise data for problem-solving, or choose a quieter place to live, or change policy. Learn more about the Right Avenues story in this episode.
