  The University of Washington eScience Institute runs an annual Data Science
for Social Good (DSSG) program that selects four projects each year to train
students from a wide range of disciplines while helping community members
execute social good projects, often with an urban focus.
  We present observations and deliberations of one such project, the DSSG 2017
'Equitable Futures' project, which investigates the ongoing gentrification
process and the increasingly inequitable access to opportunities in Seattle.
Similar processes can be observed in many major cities. The project connects
issues usually analyzed in the disciplines of the built environment, geography,
sociology, economics, social work and city governments with data science
methodologies and visualizations.
