L’objectif de ces cartes est de permettre aux internautes de découvrir les commerces, produits et services durables proches de leur domicile. Encore un bel exemple de relocalisation et désintermédiarisation de l’économie rendu possible grâce aux technologies web dernier cri.

It is important for people to revisit, and get to know their neighborhood in a comprehensive way. The idea behind this is: if you know more, you can love more. Green Map can also be used to voice concerns on neighborhood problems, which are often overlooked by urban planners. People should use Green Map to re-plan their neighborhood and make it more vibrant and sustainable.

This online map program is fabulous and I'm inspired. What a cool way to get connected and see what's green around the country.

The Green Map project made me look at the maps (...) and ask why what was on them was on them. Why the roads and the petrol stations, why not the scenic routes through park, the community cafes and the places you could lock your bike up?
