What do the social networks look like in your city or country? Dave Troy (TED Talk: Social maps that reveal a city’s intersections — and separations) crunches data to see places not as neighborhoods, but as relationships between people. With his PeopleMaps project, he groups people by whom they follow and talk to on Twitter, then works with local collaborators to analyze what those people talk about most. The result? Fascinating non-geographic maps of a region’s interests and communities.

Dale Kunce wants to map the world. More specifically, he wants to plot parts of the world that remain uncharted. That doesn’t just include lands still unexplored, but large swaths of the undeveloped world with dense populations. A senior geospatial engineer at the American Red Cross, Kunce is one of the leaders of the Missing Maps Project. Launched earlier this month, the Missing Maps Project aims to tap a global network of volunteers to plot data about streets, buildings, rivers, mountains and other geographical features to improve the response of humanitarian groups. It’s the brainchild of the American Red Cross, British Red Cross, Doctors Without Borders and the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team.

A 'MakerMap' is an online map that provides information about the people, places and resources in a community that form part of that community's capacity to make things for themselves. It is open, accessible and editable, so that the community can on-goingly build its knowledge and awareness of the 'making' resources in the community, and facilitate interaction and collaboration between artistans, designers and other makers that currently do not know about each other.

In 2012 protests erupted in Banja Luka, Bosnia and Herzegovina over the demolition of a much beloved local park to build a business complex. A movement under the slogan “This Park is Ours” aimed originally at protecting the green space soon broadened into a collective movement aimed against corruption, lack of transparency, economic inequality and dwindling social services. Hundreds of protesters from all social classes and religions gathered daily in the endangered park, becoming part of a Bosnian spring that came to represent a struggle for human dignity and accountability under most articulated civic movement since the 1992-1995 war.
