The new opportunities for simulation and representation that computer modelling affords designers has been well charted. Jason Kelly Johnson and Nataly Gattegno of Future Cities Lab, however, are combining these new potentials with dynamic mapping and modelling methods derived from modern cartography. The most familiar of these tools is Google Earth, which provides a unique new bird's‐eye view of the earth's surface. Other geographical softwares also combine to enable the manipulation of real‐time, open‐source, user‐generated data as never before. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
