Mapping Windsor

Mapping Study Areas in Windsor via Google Maps

Next Tuesday night, December 2nd, at 7pm, Broken City Lab will be holding a Social Mapping Event, where we’ll use the tools Google gave us and highlight potential study areas (and broken points of interest)—the Google Map itself will be made public afterwards. We’ll also make a screencast of the process and make it available on the website afterwards.

So, if you’ve been meaning to come out to our weekly Office Hours, but haven’t had the time yet, clear your schedule for next Tuesday.

    hi Darren,
    it’d be great if you could make it!

    see you tuesday…

    This will improve our project planning immensely, not to mention broaden our scope of the city.

  4. Justin says:

    Yes, exactly Josh… I’m hoping it will help us to see issues that we can address beyond the campus and immediate neighbourhoods. Bring all your knowledge of the east side!
