About
Notes for a People’s Atlas: People Making Maps of Their Cities
Notes for a People’s Atlas is a multi-city community mapping project that started in Chicago in 2005 and has since expanded to a number of cities ranging from Zagreb (Croatia) to Greencastle, Indiana (USA). The project was initiated by AREA Chicago, a magazine about art, research, education and activism in Chicago. The book and this website document this project by presenting the maps collected in each city along with commentary by leading thinkers dealing with art, urban space, cartography and definitions of place.
