This edited collection provides an introduction to the emerging
interdisciplinary field of cultural mapping, offering a range of
perspectives that are international in scope. Cultural mapping is a
mode of inquiry and a methodological tool in urban planning,
cultural sustainability, and community development that makes
visible the ways local stories, practices, relationships, memories,
and rituals constitute places as meaningful locations. The chapters
address themes, processes, approaches, and research methodologies
drawn from examples in Australia, Canada, Estonia, the United
Kingdom, Egypt, Italy, Malaysia, Malta, Palestine, Portugal,
Singapore, Sweden, Syria, the United Arab Emirates, the United
States, and Ukraine. Contributors explore innovative ways to
encourage urban and cultural planning, community development,
artistic intervention, and public participation in cultural
mapping-recognizing that public involvement and artistic practices
introduce a range of challenges spanning various phases of the
research process, from the gathering of data, to interpreting data,
to presenting "findings" to a broad range of audiences. The book
responds to the need for histories and case studies of cultural
mapping that are globally distributed and that situate the practice
locally, regionally, nationally, and internationally.
