Mapping Greater Boston's Neighborhoods
- nja 11y agoIf you're interested in seeing the results from the 2012 survey: http://bostonography.com/2012/crowdsourced-neighborhood-boundaries-part-one-consensus/ http://bostonography.com/2012/crowdsourced-neighborhood-boun... and http://bostonography.com/2013/neighborhoods-as-seen-by-the-people/ http://bostonography.com/2013/neighborhoods-as-seen-by-the-p...
- bgraves 11y agoJust added a "5 minute walk from South Station" neighborhood. A few notes/observations: 1. I didn't realize that there were already several other maps for the area I wanted to map (South Station). It would have been cool to see a message like "Looks like you are mapping a previously mapped section of the town. Want to review that map?" I would have commented/loved that map instead of creating a new one and adding to the noise. 2. I don't see any way to link to my neighborhood map. So, how can I share this with other and get more love? 3. How is this different from Google's "My Maps" feature[1]? Not being snarky, but the only thing I can think of is the 'discoverability' of bostonography maps. [1] https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/ https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/
- probdist 11y agoso Bostonography has been a long running attempt to build crowd-sourced definitions of neighborhoods. I expect the interested difference from my maps will be an aggregated report on the data that will come out as has happened on several previous versions of the survey / site.
