 About La République des Cartes


Building together is what makes a republic

Bringing together - and making visible - everyone who uses maps to do democracy, and everyone who would like to but does not know where to start. Through regular publications, a podcast and one great annual day, we show cartography for what it is: a power to understand, to decide and to act together on the future of the places we live in.
