ARMCHAIR explorers who soar over 3D cityscapes on their computer may be used to the idea of maps with an extra dimension.

Accurate, large-scale 3D maps could soon change the way we design, manage and relate to our urban environments.

Recently I’ve been doing some ‘gardening’. You can see this clearly from these images on NearMap….

La série des colloques « HyperUrbain » propose des réflexions sur la conception de la ville « sociale » (sociale ici voudra dire une conception centrée sur l'utilisateur de l'espace urbain) où les modalités de communication, de sociabilité, d'apprentissage, de transaction, de travail, etc. passent par des différentes formes d'(auto)régulation, dont un nombre croissant repose sur les Technologies d'Information et de Communication (TIC).

Theme of the symposium was “la ville cartographiée” (the city map), and to give our contribute to the discussion, we were warmly welcome to the ‘Cité des sciences et de l’industrie‘; built in the 19th arrondissement, just beside Parc de la Villette, ‘La Cité des Sciences et de l’Industrie’ is one of the world’s largest and most visited science museums, and looks as an impressive modern site which offers a wide variety of exhibitions and shows.

By removing the unnecessary, this New York City map-cut reveals the “paths, nodes, circles, boulevards, parks and streets” of the greatest city in the world.

Ptolemy writes that geography is the study of the entire world or large sections or countries of it, while chorography is the study of its smaller parts--provinces, regions, cities, or ports.

Places & Spaces: Mapping Science is meant to inspire cross-disciplinary discussion on how to best track and communicate human activity and scientific progress on a global scale. It has two components: the physical part supports the close inspection of high quality reproductions of maps for display at conferences and education centers; the online counterpart provides links to a selected series of maps and their makers along with detailed explanations of how these maps work. The exhibit is a 10-year effort. Each year, 10 new maps are added resulting in 100 maps total in 2014.

Simply put: We believe that people have the right to know where things come from and what they are made of.
