Examples from here and there

“To be able to map the most loved

coastal areas and their diverse uses is

an amazing new possibility. We can

combine large-scale areal analysis

with subtle local knowledge and

qualitative knowledge to the structural

characteristics of the place. This leads

to new interpretations.”

plan and beautify cities and human communities.”

-Socrates

… and the best way to reach that wisdom is to involve citizens themselves.
