Center for Urban Pedagogy (CUP)
The Center for Urban Pedagogy pairs designers and policy experts with marginalized New York communities to co-create visual explanations of complex policy issues, such as its Vendor Power! project on street vending rules.
The work of the Center for Urban Pedagogy (CUP), a New York-based nonprofit, provides a clear example of this model in action. CUP forges counter-conventional partnerships between professional designers, policy experts, and marginalized community groups like immigrant youth or public housing residents. Together, they co-create accessible, visual explanations of complex policy issues that directly affect these communities, such as their "Vendor Power!" project, which demystified the labyrinthine rules of street vending.
