LIVINGMAPS SEMINAR   June 22nd, 18.00-20.00   Community mapping and citizen social science 

 

in association with the Urban Laboratory UCL

 

The advent of open source  mapping technologies has in principle created the conditions for the emergence of a popular do - it - yourself cartography  articulating the concerns, political and personal , of all citizens.  In this seminar we have brought together  some leading practitioners who have pioneered  the contribution of map making to the development of  citizen social science, developed   participatory methods of community mapping , and  explored the limits and conditions of democratising the production of knowledge in and against the urban planning process.
