Because of New York City’s rich history and diversity, an app that promotes neighborhood understanding of its cultural and historical roots through posting of shared stories, could be welcoming for newcomers and visitors. In this way, visitors and residents alike can develop and deepen their connection to the city increasing their awareness and respect for city policies and for the uniqueness of each neighborhood. Storytelling is a powerful way to convey information, promote inclusiveness and express city dynamics in past, present and future tense.
