Maps

Maps have the potential to extend the depth of our knowledge and experience. Combined with
visual images and text, they become influential in creating and sustaining notions about a
historical context. Therefore, maps are an effective way to present the past, understand space, and
charge discourse.

With a multidisciplinary focus, the Center seeks to address urban problems and advance
knowledge about the urban environment. The map projects of the CNMS are provided as a
resource for research, teaching and as a service to the community. Below are a series of
interactive maps and new media that explore the complexities of neighborhoods and metropolitan
areas.
