Urban Maps concerns the city and the devices that define the urban environment by their presence, representation, or interpretation. The chapters aim to provide a contemporary reading of urban socio-cultural conditions using mapping as a lens to explore and communicate the social phenomena and lived experiences of the city. A fascinating and insightful book with important things to say about the current state of our cities, concludes Andrew Molloy.
