Knight Foundation and Niantic, Inc., maker of the popular Pok\u00e9mon GO game. The fellowship will support projects that address community issues and promote resident engagement using Niantic\u2019s augmented reality technology.

Last spring, he and fellow urban design professor Nadia Anderson created \u201cMapping (In) Equity in the Built Environment,\u201d an interactive installation at the Projective Eye Gallery at UNC Charlotte Center City. The installation consisted of huge floor maps of Charlotte\u2019s Cherry neighborhood, a historically African American neighborhood that has seen dramatic changes in the past decade. With augmented reality, delivered via an app devised by Ankit Kelkar, a graduate student in the College of Computing and Informatics, gallery visitors could view the maps through an iPad and see demographic changes to the area over time \u2013 increases in property values, for example, or the racial and economic make-up of the inhabitants. <\/p>\n<p>A visitor from the city office of Planning, Design &amp; Development saw the installation in March and asked Lee and Anderson to bring it to the Charlotte Powerhouse Trolley Studio in SouthEnd, where it is on view through the end of the year. An <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eventbrite.com\/e\/comprehensive-plan-equitable-outcomes-interactive-gallery-tickets-49037017038?aff=eac2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">event on September 7<\/a> invites the community to interact with the installation and learn more about the 2040 Comprehensive Plan.<\/p>\n<p> <\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ming-Chun Lee, a professor in the School of Architecture\u2019s Master of Urban Design program, has been named one of five inaugural fellows in the Niantic\/Knight Fellows Program, a community engagement initiative by the John S. and James L.
