Urban Cartography

I apologize for the low-resolution images the last few days. Many of these items will not be able to be reposted at full resolution due to my own technological ineptitude, which certainly abounds. I will make certain, however, that future posts include a full-resolution version, available at a click.

Have you seen a particularly nice graph, chart, infographic or map lately? Please send it & attribution info, or point us toward the relevant URL(s). Thanks!

We'll be switching over to a new look & subject in the next few days: other people's data. Basically, Urban Cartography will become a catch-all for interesting geo & political imaging, and we'll post all the neat infographics, charts & related maps we can find, with attribution when possible. If you find something worth sharing, send it to us & we'll put it up.

We got shirts! The Le Corbusier shirts are done, and Jane Jacobs and Frank Gehry versions are on the way. Who else would you like to adorn yourself with?

Folks have asked for a way to subscribe to Urban Cartography by email, and while we certainly hope that everyone does come to the site from time to time - clicking on our ads and visiting our sponsors pays the bills - we can certainly understand that it can be a pain to return to the same site several times without any new content being posted.

By subscribing to our feed via email, you'll only get a message when a new article is added; simply fill out the form below, and you're set. Alternately, if you use an RSS reader or a web browser that is RSS-aware, you can subscribe to our regular rss feed, which also includes photographs from our Flickr stream and lots of other goodness. (note - a few subscriptions this morning may have gotten the wrong feed, but that's fixed now; quit that subscription and resubscribe, and it should work...)

Urban Cartography celebrates it's first year this month ... and takes nearly a month off to celebrate! Yay for UC!

No data for Turkeys, unfortunately. Happy thanksgiving, everyone!

graphic from Radical Cartography - thanks for letting us know where it came from, mystery commenter!

Urban Cartography needs you! Are you a planner, student, GIS analyst, architect, educator, photographer, developer (sure - why not?), or just generally interested in mapping, development & urban studies issues? Can you construct a decent sentenec spel and most of the wrds rite? Do you have big - or small - ideas that you'd like to share? Then we want you to be writing here. No time commitment - simply post a little or a lot whenever you feel like it. Email us now & we'll throw in a handy set of steak knives. No, not really.

UC readers:

I'm going on a study abroad this May to Germany and Austria (and a day in Hungary). I've set up a weblog for people to follow my exploits while I'm away. It's helmstravels.blogspot.com - and yes there will be pictures!

The program I'm in deals specifically with Urban Redevelopment practices. The first week is in Dortmund working on a site, the second week is in Berlin and the third is in Vienna. There are more details on the website, so I suggest you check it out.

Have a super month!

Auf wiedersehen,

-NH

(I leave from Lansing on the 8th of May and should return on the 27th)
