About the Map:

Willamette University is located in Salem, Oregon. It was recently named the most sustainable university in the United States by the National Wildlife Federation. The motto of Willamette's College of Liberal Arts is, "Not unto ourselves are we born," and reflects the committment of the faculty, administration and students to creating a better earth for everyone. This map will, hopefully, increase students' awareness of the environmentally friendly options open to them everyday around campus. It may also encourage other universities to immitate the choices that Willamette University has made. Enjoy!

About the Map:

Green Map is the entrance of town development. Mr. Kashima tolds he wants to solve local issues by himself as much as possible and if he can’t, he wants to do so with his colleagues, and if they still can’t solve, they want to work with government. They act for the purpose of improving their town as much as possible by working with several issues contributing their communities in a positive way. Among their activities, Green Map is a tool for people to enjoy watching their town. Thus, the most important thing is not mapmaking but participation of citizens in the spirit of self-help and mutual assistance. We have hold town walking with many kinds of groups, including Boy Scout and elementary school/high school students. We realized most of participants who got interested in mapmaking cannot continue their activities after completing the map, and we are searching for the way participants can continue their activities, such as adopting community currency. There are no updates on this project.

Tagline/Slogan:

This map is created for the purpose of providing the catalyst for citizens to become interested in their city and accelerating their participation in town development. Our goal is promoting sustainable town development in cooperation with citizens.

Created by:

Map Details

About the Map:

Covering most of the central area of Tokyo, Nagomi Map provides information on bike facilities and highlights nagomi spots, where people can relax and feel green. These places are more easily accessible by bicycle because they tend to be located off the major train lines and arterial roads. Nagomi spots are linked by streets safe for cycling. There are no updates on this project.

Tagline/Slogan:

The Tokyo Nagomi Map was created in collaboration with Be-Pal magazine in December 2002 in an effort to locate “peace and quiet” in the city. It was published along with a 20-page article illustrating the spots.

About the Map:

We're so pleased to share the news that the Tokyo Cycling Green Map won a GOOD DESIGN AWARD 2007 in the category of Communications - this is the most honorable design award in Japan! The jury valued this beautiful map and the concepts behind Green Mapmaking. “Tokyo Cycling Green Map is a design evolution that emerged from citizens, not from corporations. It is important to raise the quality of “Design” in social movements led by non-profit organizations concerned with the networking of citizens to address social problems,” commented the jurors. Tokyo Cycling Green Map will continue to develop printed and online maps with easier functions and utilize their excellent design skills in order to shift Tokyo toward becoming a more sustainable city. There are no updates on this project.

Tagline/Slogan:

The Tokyo Cycling Green Map was created to encourage development of a bike lane network and safer riding by Urban Ecology Tokyo and volunteers since 2006. The first printed citywide version was published in January 2007. There is also an interactive online edition in Japanese or in English that anyone can add green sites to and use to get involved in creating a better environment for cycling in this metropolis.
