populated cities( 20M+)
 Only a series of prototypes, experiments,
code modules, and projects
 Dialectical story of an idea through many voices and with many

 Digital Map 1970s
 Web-based mapping applications Such as Google Earth, Google
Maps API, OpenStreetMap, and WorldMap
 Thick mapping refers to the processes of collecting, aggregating,
and visualizing layers of geographic or place-specific data.
 Conjoined with stories, and stories are conjoined with maps,
