Malasaña holds the perfect harmony of the old and the new, and it’s the place I call home nowadays. I have been living in Madrid for a decade, and this is one of my favourite neighbourhoods. Bubbling with life at any time of the day and night it’s a place where you can find the trendiest people and places. Art exists inside galleries and museums but also in the streets, hip bars, pubs and cafes. My favourite thing are the contrast: the little old grocery shop next to the latest design shop, the bar that has been serving people for a 100 years (true story) packed with the trendiest crowd... If you’re into shopping here you will find the best vintage shops, and the newest design too. I have listed my favourite places in the area so you can have a complete day exploring: you can see art, grab a coffee, go shopping, have a bite, a drink and even dance all night.

Madrid: A day in hip Malasaña

When it comes to sharing or increasing access to data, there is a wide range of different approaches out there and finding the most suitable approach can be tricky. We’ve created the Data Access Map to help people and organisations explore the various options and navigate this difficult terrain.

From APIs and blockchains to competitions and data trusts, there are many different approaches that people can take to sharing or increasing access to data. So many, in fact, that it can be difficult to understand the full range of approaches or weigh the benefits and limitations of each. This in turn can make it difficult for us – as data holders, users, researchers, regulators and policymakers – to identify which approach best suits our needs. 

At the ODI, we’ve embarked on a journey to research, map and describe the various data access approaches out there in the hope that we can help people and organisations to navigate this vast landscape. While some of that work has focused on particular approaches, such as data trusts and open data, we have the wider goal of helping people and organisations understand, compare and adopt the right approach for them.

We know we can’t do this alone so we are keen to know what other people think of the map and how we can improve it to make it an accessible, accurate, clear and useful tool for others.

The Open Data Institute Data Access Map

[Beta] The Open Data Institute Data Access Map

An illustrated map of Dunedin's Warehouse precinct which was once full of industry, especially agriculture and rural commerce. This was the hub of Dunedin's flourishing as a centre for business, shipping, livestock and agriculture during and following the gold rush and the arrival of migrants from Europe, especially Scotland. 
Now the area has been reinvigorated with restaurants, cafes, Tech, Law and local businesses and street art & sculpture. Recently an annual street party has been established with music, performance and tours of the heritage buildings. Also, and quite importantly, this area was once an important landing and fishing spot for local Maori as you can see in the bottom left of the map.

袋川と外堀との間に区画された町割のうち、智頭街道よりも東側（袋川の上流側）を描いた絵図。この大切図には１６町の町人町と、その東側に配置された寺町（朱色）、総構である袋川沿いや町人町に点在する武家の拝領屋敷（黄色）が描かれている。このうち町人町は、一軒ごとに表間口と奥行の間数を記し、その所有者を記載している。町人町の土地所有状況を記すのは、表間数を指数とする町役の賦課・十分一銀（町屋の売買に際して、その価格の１０分の１を徴収する）などを算出するためと推定される。しがたって、本図によって現住者の情報を得ることはできない。また本図には所々に所有者の変更を示す貼り紙があり、その下限は明治２年（1869）である。このことから、土地管理の基礎資料として町会所などで長期にわたって利用されていた状況がうかがえる。なお、大切図は、本図を含めて６枚に分けて城下町全体の町人町を描いており、その構成は、川内上、川内下、江崎・上町・立川、川外上、川外下、新品治となっている。

Hyde Park is one of the most desirable neighborhoods of modern Austin. The legacy of its settlement and growth reminds one of the important role Hyde Park has played in the history of Austin.

An early promotional map of Hyde Park reveals Shipe's layout of the new neighborhood. Drawn by noted map maker Augustus Koch, who prepared "bird's eye" maps of many Texas cities including Austin, Cuero and Victoria, it depicts a grid pattern of tree-lined streets. The west side of the development was dominated by a large park in the area bounded by present-day Guadalupe, West 38th, Avenue D and West 43rd streets. A "Railway Car Barn" for the Austin Rapid Transit Railway Co., the city's streetcar line, was shown near the southwest corner of Avenue D and Third (now 40th) Street. Two separate man-made bodies of water are labeled Gem Lake and Crystal Fountain. Frequently mentioned among the amenities Hyde Park offered, the lakes were drained in the mid-1890s to provide additional land for residential use as part of the effort to develop Hyde Park Addition No. 2.

Clinton Hill is a treelined Brooklyn neighborhood where artists, writers, makers, students and creatives have lived throughout history, and continue to make their marks today. Spaces for creating, thinking, and collaborating dot the map, creating an atmosphere that's ever-evolving against a backdrop of historic brick row houses and brownstones.

My map depicts the many cafes and community spaces that celebrate the arts, and even a few places that do both (like the women-run Relationships cafe and Playground Coffee Shop). These are places where you can sip coffee surrounded by modern art, places that imagine a more intentionally-designed food system, shops with vintage clothing and furniture, destinations for modern art and music, and even a few historic (maybe unofficial) arts landmarks. It's a special place that has fueled my creativity for years, and I hope you'll find some inspiration here, too.

Kansas City is special to me because I moved here blindly for an internship and now 2 years later, I have fallen in love with this amazing little city. I didn't know what I was moving to - wheat? Cows? There's that if you drive out long enough, but turns out there's great food, great beer, and an amazing art community right outside my doorstep. It's been pleasant surprise every single day!

This little map celebrates my favourite places in Bristol after a year of living away.

Some things I love about Bristol

Art in Hanoi is a map of my favourite creative places and projects in the incredible capital of Vietnam from a year of living there as an expat from the UK in 2018 - 19. The places on this map are everything from incredible cafes serving the best cocktails alongside exhibitions of international and local artists, contemporary galleries, residency programmes partnering with traditional family-run ceramic studios and many more. Hanoi is bursting with creativity and is well worth exploring - even from your sofa!

Art in Hanoi

This place is special to me because I took the leap to move to Hanoi, Vietnam from the UK to have a (drastic!) change of scene and rediscover my creative voice. I am passionate about sustainable fashion and joined Fashion Revolution Vietnam to promote ways of enjoying fashion sustainably through exhibitions and events. I have discovered so many amazing ethical designers, second hand boutiques and winding markets which many people don't know about here, so I wanted to share them through this playful map to begin the adventure for someone else...

Sustainable Fashion in Hanoi

This map was created at the end of a year living as a British expat in Hanoi, Vietnam. We had so many requests from friends planning to visit Vietnam that I thought I would make a list of recommendations of our favourite things all in one place! I hope others can enjoy it too.

Vietnam Through Our Eyes

この2年間、なかなか自由に部屋を出ることは叶わず、何度旅することを夢見たろうか。
外界とアクセスをする時はマスク一枚に自由を隔てられ、本当の意味で自由になれたのは部屋の中だけだった。

この一枚の絵は、そんな世界中の旅を夢見た人が壁に地図を広げて、旅を夢見る瞬間を描いたものです。
私たちは部屋の中にいながらも世界中の隣人と繋がり、それはまた宇宙にも繋がっています。

あなたはどんな部屋からこの部屋を眺めていますか？
