New York Citiy’s Administrative Code Book is a rather convoluted collection of rules and regulations that frequently confuses the many street vendors that it governs. Designer Candy Chang worked with The Center for Urban Pedagogy to redesign the entire book as a simple infographic.
According to a story in the New York Times, for many (foreign) street vendors, understanding the regulations that govern their trade is a really difficult prospect. Instead, the group attempted to design a brochure that uses as little language as possible to spell out the most critical pieces of the city’s administrative code book. This graphical poster is the 3rd in a series of similar handbooks published by Street Vendor. The others are a guide to Social Security and a map of cargo shipping networks in North America.
Samples of the book can be found here.
