With 124 cameras per 1,000 residents, Atlanta is the most surveilled city in the United States.

But because the Atlanta Police Department claims that releasing the locations of these cameras will lead to terrorism, we’ve not been able to map their locations...

Until now.

Unequal access to the financial and banking system is one of the key drivers of the racial wealth gap here in Atlanta and across the country.

Our latest post builds on a newly-published paper to examine the geographies of banking across the Atlanta metro

Just the ten biggest corporate landlords own nearly 30,000 single-family homes across the five core counties of metro Atlanta. 🏡💰 But not all parts of the city or metro area are affected equally.

It feels like every week there’s a new food hall concept being opened or announced somewhere across metro Atlanta.

But who are these food halls actually for? And how can mapping them help us find an answer?

Given that we already know Atlanta is the most surveilled city in the country, this should come as no surprise.

But this shows it isn't just the City of Atlanta leading the way, but at least 10 other metro ATL police departments with access to thousands of surveillance cameras.

New: we obtained a new dataset showing the spread of AI-enabled Fusus cameras around the US. Cameras have object and people recognition. A hacktivist found a Fusus API, scraped it, gave us the data. We visualized it. Check if your agency included here: 404media.co/fusus-ai-camer…
