About the Map:

Dubai Green Map is a primary effort toward highlighting and promoting green living and practices among citizens, residents and tourists of Dubai and the United Arab Emirates. United Arab Emirates plays a vital and impressive role in the region, by adopting and promoting humanitarian and environmental acts and practices. For several decades, leaders of the country gave all effort to protect the environment for future generations, and dedicated all available resources to promote environment sustainability education and practices among their people and the international society. Dubai is turning green; in fact, during the last few years of the city urban development, through all aspects, many steps and measures have been taken by authorities, proving their environmental concerns, and interest in environment sustainability, protection and contribution to the world combat against climate changes. Dubai is a unique city, very rich and diversified in population nationalities, cultures and interests. Its geographic location and insightful rulers' futuristic vision made it a strategic crossroad between East and West, and a civilizations blending place as well. Dubai Green Map project is intended to draw the attention of people living in Dubai and its visitors, to the importance of many Green sites and attractions of the city, the need to expand Green areas and applications, and the positive impacts of Green practices over the city’s environment and future generations healthy and sustainable living. Green Maps of other parts of the country will hopefully follow in the near future.

Portsmouth Neighborhood Green Map

Portsmouth Neighborhood Green Map

Created by:

Past Mapmakers

Map Details

About the Map:

The Portsmouth Green Map was conceived and created as a partnership between Portland Green Map, a citywide community mapping organization, Portsmouth Vision 20/20, a community development organization located in the Portsmouth Neighborhood, and the Science Club at Portsmouth Middle School. Over the course of several months, students at Portsmouth Middle School used GIS (Geographic Information System) software to create maps of their neighborhood that incorporate environmental assets and special features. This is the product of their work, a map of Portsmouth neighborhood, for the Portsmouth neighborhood, created by the students of Portsmouth Middle School. This map is meant to show Portsmouth Neighborhood residents interesting information about environmental sites in and around the neighborhood. The icons, which have been used on Green Maps all over the world, mark the locations of certain types of sites in the neighborhood, from good places to see the autumn leaves to local contaminated sites.

Map Details

About the Map:

A Web Based Green Map This isn’t just a Map, this is your connection to an interactive web based Green Map of Calgary and an inventory of places, spaces and much more. Sustainable Calgary has put the Green Map on its website: The online Calgary Green Map is a “Google mash-up”, essentially a Google Map fused with Green Map sites and pictures. On this site you can navigate by zooming in or out or by panning around just like you would in a normal Google Map environment. The cool thing about the online Green Map is that you can get detailed information about each Green Map site by clicking on it to expose pictures, directions, and information about the site. As opposed to a “hard copy” Green Map that gets printed annually, the online Green Map can be constantly and easily updated. We believe as more people become exposed and involved with the Green Map, it will evolve into a dynamic living map. New sites will be added and/or edited and the resulting map will serve as a jump off point for future discussion on “Green” issues.

Map Details

About the Map:

The map was made at the planning department of Mönsterås municipality. It is a pilot map, quick and dirty in order to present Mönsterås to possible new residents and visitors in a new way. One of the goals is to formulate a follow-up project based on the response. We came up with the idea on march 31st. We registered on april 3rd. The map was ready on april 25th. So it was made in 22 days.... The official publication date is 3rd may 2008. We focused on these themes because we had information available about them. We are planning on making follow-up maps with different themes (tourist map e.g.)

Advice to other Mapmakers:

Fellow municipal workers. It takes only a few enthousiasts to make such a map. Start simple and easy. Make a pilot product and determine afterwards how to proceed. With such a process can you get more and more people involved. I have tried it the other way, workshopping my behind of to get support and funding, shopping around the idea for 7 years without any luck. If the time is not right, focus on something else. There is plenty to do. Just keep your eyes open for the right opportunity. Pepijn
