READ ALL ABOUT IT!
If you missed Audrey Henderson speak at
the 2012
Chicago Green Festival, no worries! Read her
blog post based on materials included in the presentation.
Since her appearance at the Green Festival, Audrey has been working to
develop a practical application that would incorporate vacant and abandoned properties as an asset available for development
into affordable housing and socially responsible mixed used developments.
In October 2012, she participated in the 2012 Center for Neighborhood Technology Urban Sustainability Hackathon, along with Dan Fehrenbach, a programmer working with CNT Energy. She and Dan developed the Hidden Value in Abandoned Buildings (HViAB) browser based tool that illustrates amenities and resources, including public transit stations, schools and
cultural institutions, located within a half-mile radius of a specific abandoned structure. The platform was a runner-up in
the Hackathon. For more information, view the video that describes the HViAB tool, or read any of the news stories listed
below.
