Hey, time traveler!

Therefore, the information in it may no longer be up to date.
Whether it's the line drawing of the coastline, or the monochrome and powerful text, you can visually see the best location of a block, the map business --making is on-trend.
Maps are one of the most powerful communication tools in our society, as we become more intuitive through social media,
In order to meet the growing demand, ancient technology has developed.
The public is becoming more and more fond of city maps, choosing to put them in the living room or office for display, or to give them to friends and family as a gift.
Do these commercial maps educate and inform people about the understanding of a place
Or are they just decorative?
This question about contemporary maps is Tim Hogan and Dustin Brooks of HTFC planning and design company and Niles Vic of parol coffee company, Lisi of city planning major skip dish logistics expert roselsabur and artist Carl batski.
The group discussed various ways in which people were involved in the mapmaking.
As described by Hogan and Brooks of HTFC, maps can be used for technical purposes
Provide detailed information on community history, development and land use.
Maps can also be powerful storytellers
Communicate the land interests of a community or a vision for the future.
In this regard, the map is essentially political and can generally support or justify the decision-making --making.
Hogan is the principal of HTFC and has been a practicing professional planner for nearly 20 years.
His interest in maps stems from a road trip to visit big families as a child.
"We had a long time on the road," he said . ".
"I'm always excited about where we're going.
I would sit in the back seat of the car and look at the map and try to figure out where we are and where we are going.
Brooks joins HTFC as a geographic information system (GIS)
Being a physical geographer led the way after many years.
He described his work as a 21 st century GIS technician.
Century cartographer-replacing hand-
Draw a wide variety of maps by using a computer.
Nils Vik, owner of Parlour Coffee, described the map as an alternative to concierge services, and he developed a map of his own showing the main destinations of the communication area.
Purpose: as a way --
Find tools and ways to instill community pride and identity.
Graduated from the University of Manitoba School of Architecture, Vik is one of the city's first companies to open up local coffee shops, with living room coffee and little sister coffee machines, and now Yamaki coffee
"My first love was product design and coffee has lost control over the last six years," he said . ".
"Now I find myself back on the design side, working in building 3 as director of commercial products and in-session lecturer at the Faculty of Architecture at the University of Manitoba.
"Vik, who grew up in hiragawa, recalled that there was no sign telling travelers the distance they were from the town and how that produced a meaningless concept.
"We were not on the map at the time.
There are signs now.
It is worth noting that we.
"Take Vik's swap area map as an example and discuss in detail what can or should not be displayed on the identification map.
His map involves the work of visual artist and teacher Jonathan Duke, who is loosely represented.
"This is basically the version of the concierge we do at the cafe.
People come in and ask, 'Where should we go?
We will pick up a piece of paper and draw a very messy sketch and say, 'Go here, go there, 'where you can have coffee, beer or buy clothes.
"We brought together the ideas of our employees and made a map --
Reach out to local residents and tourists.
"But as the group has explored, places that are excluded from the map are as important as those that are excluded.
Sabourin, a logistics specialist, skipped the dishes, one of the most popular starts in Manitoba
The successful case provides the thinking for the technology company how to participate in the city.
Building hard.
Sabourin, a native of Letellier, describes how maps serve real-time and non-live maps
The purpose of the company's life.
The digital app provides a public map that identifies when to order, pick up food, and determines how long it will take to get to the customer's doorstep.
"Maps allow us to be transparent and provide the best possible service. "The non-
As Sabourin explained, the real-time part of the map applies data-
Rich layer to support decision makingmaking.
For example, analyzing maps can help employees determine how far and how long a restaurant is from a potential customer and provide strategies to address these challenges.
"There is an entire team and a bunch of technology behind Skip, which makes it all happen," he said . ".
"Whether it's a visual area, delivery fee, type of cuisine or a place to post, we map in a number of ways.
"Rappaport is a graduate student in urban planning who has worked in the north end for many years and has recently promoted food mapping through food matters in Manitoba.
Instead of abandoning Google Maps, the map practice chose white paper and invited the community to recall and tell their stories in their own unique way.
"We let the community know their food stories, food needs and food desires," she said . ".
In this example, maps are a tool that encourages and supports community members to safeguard their interests and hopes for the community.
Providing the community with the opportunity to create their own maps is an important goal of Churchill's wall of the sea, an initiative to turn Churchill's 18 vacant buildings into works of art.
The initiative, planned and produced by Winnipeg artist Barteski, began with a tour with urban residents.
Walking helps Barteski organize where art should be placed in space --
Ensure that artwork is taken seriously in the local community structure.
Together, they came to the conclusion that there is more that fits the eye in terms of the map --
While there are obvious benefits to marking on the map, the process of letting people share stories and information about where they live and play is equally valuable.
How's the map-
Working within your scope of work?
Vic: Before and after the Internet, when I was in my 80 s, I had the benefits of growing up.
I remember sitting in my car at home trying to follow the map.
I always find that maps are a form of control and authorization.
This is the way I understand my position in the world at that moment and at that time.
As a user of digital maps and physical maps, I have always been attracted by the advantages and disadvantages of both.
At the parol Hotel, close to the Fairmont Hotel, it is a tourist area and the map we created is the way we give back, providing an experience for those who may have come to the area for the first time.
Maps can share experiences and potential opportunities.
Brooks: I work on map technology. making.
I put the digital data together with the layer data.
It creates a story.
This may help to prove things like land claims.
With GIS, you can put a bunch of information in a file.
It's interesting to see all the different mapping applications.
Hogan: in our work, we use maps and space sketches in many different ways and at many different scales.
Maps are one of the most important tools for us to collect, analyze and exchange information and ideas.
We will use maps as a vision tool to build consensus and demonstrate future developments.
We also use maps as a discussion tool and as a decision makingmaking tool.
For work such as land or flood claims, we may use the map in a very complex and technical way, layering a lot of information and building up a simulation history
What is the land like and what changes have taken place?
This is one of the coolest things.
You can't do that without a map.
We will also map the oral history to show the history and extent of use of the land within the community.
It changed the views of these community members on their land, on the use of land for decades and generations.
Maps can be used as a history of traditional knowledge or a record of current use.
Brooks: It's really interesting to see how traditional knowledge interviews are transcribed and then shown on a map.
I can see how visual performance will bring value to the community, as it does to paper culture and traditions.
Therefore, this information can be passed on to different generations later.
Rappaport: my first food project in Manitoba in 2012 was at the north end.
The project aims to involve communities in increasing access to health and traditional foods.
We use large sheets of white paper, markers, stickers and pictures to ask residents where to get food.
By looking at Google maps, we can easily solve this problem ourselves.
But we want to hear from the residents themselves and determine what is most important to them.
People are starting to map places like their grandmother's house, community catering programs, or food banks.
People began to identify Selkirk Avenue and the main streets as places where people would walk more often to get food.
Even if the people on the North End are further away, they will still walk to Selkirk Avenue to eat.
Without the mapping work of the residents, we would not know or understand these things.
People talk about wanting more traditional food.
You can't buy meat hunting in the city. it’s illegal.
So we drew stores that sell meat that has traditionally been hunted but is now a farm-
People can still get food in traditional cities.
In terms of healthy food, residents noted that some convenience stores sell fresh fruits and vegetables as well as healthy snacks.
So we are able to design our food program through this study and build connections to find out what the community wants.
Sabourin: maps are widely used when skipping dishes. (
This service is available in every province of Canada, except Quebec, as well as in the states of NEAs, Missouri, Ohio and New York. )
The order tracker is the most visible map as a customer.
It's about communication and transparency for us.
You can follow your food courier on the way to the restaurant, you can see him or her in the restaurant, then you can see them drive to your house, so that you can be ready at the door.
For example, we use GIS maps when we provide delivery services to certain restaurants or determine delivery fees.
We don't look at the distance and we say, "Is there a toll road that needs to be passed?
"Is this a fair experience for couriers, or is it expensive for customers ? "?
"We have to balance that.
We have the real-time side of maps and non-Maps
Real-time side of the map. The non-
For example, through our app, the real-time part of the map allows customers in communities or new cities who want to use the service to let us know where they are and where they want to provide the service.
We can map this information, which can help us make decisions.
As a company.
Nil talked about how he hired an artist to make a map showing some of the top attractions in the exchange area.
How did these and other types of maps stir up pride in the neighborhood?
Brooks: The way I handle the map is very technical --
Data, forecasts and Common
Coordination System-
But when you boil it down to a map like the one created by nil or what Kal did in her work, it makes a place so easy to digest and more for everyday readers
While it may not show a person that they are 400 metres from Princess Street, it can build a person's confidence in their visit.
Using maps will give you more confidence.
I think this is how communities are built.
Familiar place.
Hogan: when you are making a map, make sure that people are involved in the production of the map, and you create a sense of pride.
There is an understanding that as members of the community plan their world, their neighbors or communities, and the development they experience --
It is becoming more and more important, and their connection with it is getting closer and closer.
The more time it takes to map with community members or community elders, the closer the connection becomes, and the greater the pride.
It's also beneficial to view community development over time through maps --
Even small changes.
It can generate excitement and optimism about the future.
Vik: almost like a map legalizes a community or a community, our community deserves to have a map where you can see yourself.
The printed documents you are involved in are legitimate, which is special.
We don't need to legalize the oral culture by writing it on paper, but it means a lot to the people who tell the story, because it has now been written and is now visualized.
I see that even pointing out the destination in a tourist map or tour guide --
This means it is worth going there.
It's good to have a map of where you are.
Yes, I think it's about being a map.
Whether you are a member of the community, a member of the business or an employee, you are a manufacturer.
Historically, maps are created by governments or large institutions where you do not acquire hidden knowledge or community knowledge --
So you can't see yourself on the map.
So be able to put your place there and say this is my grandma's house or my house and it's a legit place to be recognized --
You became a map. maker.
Maybe it changes with the crowdsourcing of data.
Now you can put things on Google Maps.
But it's about being a map
Manufacturer, you can control what you want.
I'm sure the living room map shows something very different from the city's tourist map because it's from the locals and the people who live and work there.
Brooks: The map tells us a story.
What you choose to show there will tell different stories for different people.
The community map gives you the opportunity to say: "Our community is great.
We have this school and this store because we say they are great.
"I just drew a series of mini murals in my back alley.
This is not a project I started to do.
After seeing my garage painted, the neighbors asked me to paint their garage.
But people started coming and then we had the question, "where is this?
So we created a location Facebook and all of a sudden it turned into something and people congratulated us. It was weird.
We created a place.
We changed the map.
It was interesting to see how people got to the place, although the back lane was always there.
I like how the map tells a story.
How do you legalise history, you can see the future, you can guide things according to the map.
I think it's great to have this combination of technology and systems --
Like the map used to skip dishes, and the tactile community --
Mapping-based exercises
I think it's cool.
I think these two things are getting closer and closer now.
I'm sure skipping the plate changed the look of the street and the car
Based on community preferences.
Just recently, Google's Sidewalk Lab successfully designed a waterfront in Toronto, the marina.
Quayside will use the sidewalk analysis data compiled by its applications and other companies to consider and dream about changes in urban form.
Can you imagine skipping dishes that work with city planners and designers in the future?
By using some data collected from a digital map?
Sabourin: We are an innovative team with passion.
We have been looking for breakthroughs that skip dishes and larger communities.
What we see more is that cities and communities reach out to us and say, "We are planning this development.
We noticed that we were not in the delivery area.
What does it take to get this service?
"As we become more entrenched in the community, I think we can engage with city planners in a very cool and fun way.
Vik: I'm a little worried about developing and designing public spaces for companies like Sidewalk Labs.
What are their motives and intentions?
The data is great, but what we do with it is another thing.
The intention of technology is-
To create a giant public space that brings free joy to everyone?
Or do you collect more data to generate more cash?
I am generally skeptical about such technology companies.
I don't know how much I want them to dominate our city structure.
However, they have a lot of information that can be used to build excellent public spaces.
Do I believe they are the ones who carry out this task? I don’t know. Maybe.
But I prefer to build partnerships with other organizations.
Syvixay: The reason I asked this question is that city builders are facing a dilemma where there is not enough data.
How do we get this information?
How do we work with innovative companies that intentionally or inadvertently collect useful citizen data?
How to select featured locations on the map?
Vik: Yes, it's as important as what you're missing and what you're doing.
This may be a controversial matter.
In many ways, we just tell people where to go for a drink or buy food in the exchange area, and what Parlour does is rather trivial.
But when you flip the map, we did point out some other places in Winnipeg
Therefore, I am sure that I have hurt some feelings because of this, which is certainly not our intention.
However, information needs to be extracted to make the map relevant.
The way we first sailed in the city
Content included and not included-
Shaping our experience and what we know.
To some extent, this is rather political.
As a child who grew up in Pingchuan, people always want to increase traffic and travel, and I always think, "Why is Pingchuan not on the highway signpost?
"There should be signs of how far they are from Pingchuan.
"It's a feeling," Well, where is Pinawa?
"But it was a bit awkward at the time.
We're not on the map.
There are signs now.
We are on the map.
It is worth noting that we.
Hogan: some of the most satisfying mappings I have done are working with young people.
I like what Lisi does with people from the blank canvas --
Let them share their thoughts on where they are.
When people put their ideas on the map, it can't be taken away.
This is important and important.
Things that are not on the map in place: sometimes we want to identify sensitive places in order to protect them by partitioning or managing the designation.
Community members want to identify these sensitive areas, whether in sacred space or in areas where traditional drugs are being planted, but protecting them may mean that they cannot be shown to others.
These maps are usually internal, near the community and never shared outside.
It's kind of like our experience in Churchill.
Some places are not part of our mural map, whether it's because they don't want to talk about it, they don't want to admit it even happened, or they want to forget because it's a painful experience.
Rappaport: We did not make a map for navigation nearby.
We are purely telling stories.
Sabourin: We usually think of maps as navigation
You have legends, distances, and titles.
However, when skipping dishes, we use the weather map to track the weather system throughout Canada.
We use it to estimate the order volume.
These maps help us with capacity conversion and demand forecasting within the city.
Dustin, you mentioned there is a restaurant outside your delivery area
This is done based on data and decisions to ensure that the food quality in the restaurant is high enough.
Use the map to understand your distance and the average time the courier drives, and the quality of the food will not meet the standard.
Brooks: everyone asked me what I did for my job.
I always have to put my answer down to "Yes, I do the map.
"Most people understand the classic meaning of maps as navigation.
From today's conversation, we began to realize that there is a lot more to do than from point A to Point B.
There are many uses for maps.
