An AR Jane’s Walk in the Heart of Downtown Seattle

About This Grant

Jane’s Walk is an annual global festival of free, community-led walking conversations inspired by Jane Jacobs. Jane’s Walks encourage people to share stories, discover unseen aspects of their community, and use walking as a way to connect with their neighbors and neighborhood. Seattle does not currently have a Jane’s Walk. The Downtown Community Council will create a Jane’s Walk to help redefine our neighborhood from one of the most distressed neighborhoods to a welcoming and safe home in the public imagination. The walk will feature mobile phone based augmented reality creations providing new tools for Seattleites to voice their ideas on the direction of our city. This project will include community education programming leading up to the public launch during the Jane’s Walk festival on May 3 and 4, 2025. This project will be completed by June 30, 2025.
