Mapping
Mapping is a way of framing and codifying a particular view of a place. What we map and how we do it are therefore fundamental questions, because the decisions we make will shape the story told by the map. In critical urban practice, mapping can become a powerful tool to bring into view a range of perspectives and understandings drawn from lived experience, shifting power to urban dwellers to tell their own story the way they want it to be told.
