My Block NYC, a new video-mapping website, invites residents, tourists and videographers to upload clips they’ve taken on the streets of New York. Project Jane Margolies It’s not easy to paint a telling picture of a place as big and as diverse as New York City.

Zoom out via satellite for an aerial view, and you sacrifice detail. Zoom in with Google Earth, and you’re stuck with static images. Neither approach captures the shifting, seething, kooky, creative lives of the inhabitants of the five boroughs anyway. But what if you could explore the Big Apple block by block — all 90,000 of them — through captivating videos filmed right on site?

That’s the idea behind MyBlockNYC.com, a new video-mapping website that invites residents, tourists and videographers to upload clips they’ve taken on the streets of New York to an interactive online map of the city — and lets the rest of us get in on the action. Kalman, a native New Yorker and son of illustrator Maira Kalman and the late designer Tibor Kalman, got the idea for the site three years ago.

Like other video-sharing websites, MyBlockNYC allows people to post and view videos for free. Wheelmap - Rollstuhlgerechte Orte finden.
