We are excited to highlight the newest published Green Map projects from different parts of the world. From the uniquely designed local Green Maps to interactive mapmaking experiences using the recently launched Open Green Map, each project has an amazing impact on the people who created as well as the community they have charted.
In addition to the first 60 or so Open Green Maps celebrated at our launch celebration on June 5th, recently published printed Green Maps chart a university campus in China, a youth initiative in Brazil, a cultural heritage site in Indonesia, a highland community in Canada, and a new cycling-oriented Green Map of Beijing's Shichahhai district. Many others are in progress!
Here are highlights:
Green Map of South China University of Technology in Higher Education Mega Center of Guangzhou is a wonderful outcome of a 3 month project.
School Children in Sao Paolo - Dedo Verde na Escola - Mapa Verde highlights the expressive vision of young people and their dreams for the future.
Green Map Mandala Borobudur is a pictorial guide to the project designed to preserve this important World Heritage site and the surrounding villages from over development. Both a map and a book have been produced as the starting point for this ongoing effort of Green Map Indonesia.
In Victoria BC, the 12th Green Map to be published highlights the Highland Community, with a launch party on the Summer Solstice. Check the UVic Community Mapping / Common Grounds Project website for details.
Our congratulations to each Green Map team!
