Amenities & Social infrastructure will now update monthly

Chicago Cityscape overhauled the system to obtain amenities and social infrastructure data so that it can be published more frequently. We are switching from quarterly to monthly updates, and our system allows us to update even sooner than "next month" if there is a need.

Other changes

  • We have also added a new categories of fitness centers (gyms and health clubs, and "sports centers", which includes businesses like golf driving ranges, indoor sky diving, and more.
  • The total number of assets that we categorize within a one mile walk is now shown in conspicuous red text. 

Chicago Cityscape is also using EveryDoor to speed up the addition and removal of new and closed amenities, and we invite our members to contribute as well. EveryDoor is an app for Apple and Android phones that makes it easy to edit OpenStreetMap, our primary data source for amenities and social infrastructure. While you move about a neighborhood, or are waiting for someone at a restaurant, open the app to add, edit, and remove nearby businesses.
