The Urbanist: Urban Cartography at SPUR


It’s no secret that the field of cartography has been going through some pretty serious change lately, and that a lot of this change is happening because of work being done here in the Bay Area. San Francisco-based nonprofit think tank SPUR has been tracking developments in the field and doing a lot to get the word out: their current Urban Cartography exhibit is in the pages of Dwell, San Francisco Magazine, and Curbed. We received our copies of the magazine that accompanies the exhibit today. It’s great to see the iconic work that Eric Fischer does alongside our own City from the Valley map, Andreas’ summer fellowship, and Alan’s OpenStreetMap work.

The exhibit is up through February 2015, so there’s plenty of time to pay it a visit.
