Invisible City Project Website

Invisible City is a research project: we want to build a map that brings the city to life and, most importantly, captures how young people feel about it. Usually, the first things that come to mind when people think about cities are buildings, crowds and events; things you can see and touch. Maps of cities usually show roads, landmarks and places of interest, but we want to know how young people feel about and experience the city. Memories and experiences, emotions and aspirations - the invisible aspects of how places are lived - are as important as the visible aspects when it comes to understanding and imagining the city in new ways. Together with young people, we're building a different map of the city, an emotional map, and in doing so contributing to conversations about the future planning and design of cities. The project website includes an interactive mapping platform.
