“The maps we need” - a selection of maps to raise awareness, support decisions, showcase places and their heritage, and reveal the invisible.
For this first edition of Map Day, the selection offered a glimpse of the many ways we look at the places we live in: to reveal the invisible, to raise awareness, to support decision-making, or to celebrate one particular place.
Warm thanks to the authors who shared their work and made this exhibition possible.
In the coming months, we will add to this exhibition with maps drawn fromthe workshop “The maps we need”.

Some maps cannot be reused outside Map Day: they are signed by their authors, whose permission covers activities held around the day itself.
The kit will go online before the 2027 edition.
