Map Details

About the Map:

Dubai Green Map is a primary effort toward highlighting and promoting green living and practices among citizens, residents and tourists of Dubai and the United Arab Emirates. United Arab Emirates plays a vital and impressive role in the region, by adopting and promoting humanitarian and environmental acts and practices. For several decades, leaders of the country gave all effort to protect the environment for future generations, and dedicated all available resources to promote environment sustainability education and practices among their people and the international society. Dubai is turning green; in fact, during the last few years of the city urban development, through all aspects, many steps and measures have been taken by authorities, proving their environmental concerns, and interest in environment sustainability, protection and contribution to the world combat against climate changes. Dubai is a unique city, very rich and diversified in population nationalities, cultures and interests. Its geographic location and insightful rulers' futuristic vision made it a strategic crossroad between East and West, and a civilizations blending place as well. Dubai Green Map project is intended to draw the attention of people living in Dubai and its visitors, to the importance of many Green sites and attractions of the city, the need to expand Green areas and applications, and the positive impacts of Green practices over the city’s environment and future generations healthy and sustainable living. Green Maps of other parts of the country will hopefully follow in the near future.

Calgary Online Green Map

Calgary Online Green Map

Created by:

Map Details

About the Map:

A Web Based Green Map This isn’t just a Map, this is your connection to an interactive web based Green Map of Calgary and an inventory of places, spaces and much more. Sustainable Calgary has put the Green Map on its website: The online Calgary Green Map is a “Google mash-up”, essentially a Google Map fused with Green Map sites and pictures. On this site you can navigate by zooming in or out or by panning around just like you would in a normal Google Map environment. The cool thing about the online Green Map is that you can get detailed information about each Green Map site by clicking on it to expose pictures, directions, and information about the site. As opposed to a “hard copy” Green Map that gets printed annually, the online Green Map can be constantly and easily updated. We believe as more people become exposed and involved with the Green Map, it will evolve into a dynamic living map. New sites will be added and/or edited and the resulting map will serve as a jump off point for future discussion on “Green” issues.
