We use films and novels to engage young people in their surroundings, and use informational crowdsourcing to provide developers with key insights to the younger generation's perspective. Creative Flaneur is unique because we don't base the region solely on fundamental geographical concepts (scale, distance, location, etc.). Instead, we engage critical spatial thinking, which explores a deeper understanding of the complexity of space. Creative Flaneur explores spatial stories, spatial competencies, spatial heterogeneity, hierarchies, and inequalities.Role:Prepared an annotated bibliography geospatial applicationsCollaborated in designing a survey to evaluate young people's critical spatial thinkingProvided documents for writing grant proposalsDid a literature review on social impacts of geospatial technologies Show less
