City Planner

You have been elected as the mayor of your very own city! You will need to make design choices that will accommodate the satisfaction and safety of men and women alike.

Inspiration

We were inspired to create this project by thinking about how city planning often overlooks the needs of women. We wanted to draw attention to factors that can impact women's safety and wellbeing in cities.

What it does

We have created a city planning simulation game that allows you to make design choices that will impact the safety and satisfaction of citizens within it. Some choices may seem to be a good idea, but actually have unexpected negative impacts on women. After designing your city, you are given a score which reflects how well-designed your city is for women, along with some information on why these factors could help or hinder women's lives.

How we built it

We used tkinter to create an interface for the game, and an online drawing software to create the art.

What we learned

We had no experience with either tkinter or the drawing software, but by the end were able to use both.
