This picture inspired my research project because; it made me want to explore what my city offers and does not offer. When I took this picture it was quiet and peaceful, which is a different environment compared to what people think about the city. The city is known for being noisy and lively. I think it’s unique that a city can provide a variety of environments. In the city it’s essential for people to have spaces just for relaxation and escape the daily activities of the city. I also thought this picture showed how both nature and urban can co-exists if space is used to its fullest potential. Most of the city’s piers are located under or next to highways.
I believe everybody in the city should have equal access to the different things the city offers. I narrowed this idea down and decided to view this idea through a “food lens”. My question is what influences teens in the Bronx to make their food purchasing decisions. Based on their environmental influences, this may show for example; teens in the Bronx think their environment promotes unhealthy eating. The data I will collect will reflect how certain factors like price; will limit some inhabitant’s access to what the city offers.
