Our map was built using open data from Chicago and Cook County:

• Chicago - City Owned Land Inventory
• Chicago - Wards
• Cook County - 2012 Parcels

We used the following open source tools:

• QGIS - graphic information system (GIS) desktop application
• PostGIS - geospatial database
• Bootstrap - Responsive HTML, CSS and Javascript framework
• Leaflet - javascript library interactive maps
• jQuery Address - javascript library creating RESTful URLs

• Demond Drummer - idea, content, outreach
• Derek Eder - developer, content
• Eric van Zanten - developer, GIS data merging
• Forest Gregg - process design, content

• Aya O'Connor - logo
• Juan-Pablo Velez - content
