BarrioMap

An open-source mapping tool built to bridge open access mapping and formal planning efforts, made with urban planners, architects, designers, and community organizers in mind.

What it does

If you're searching for a simple map for a community project, this is the place. BarrioMap lets you find locations by search or by selecting coordinates, then print to the scales typical of planning and design work (1"=50', and others), on standard large sheet sizes (24"x36", and others), exported in formats you can still edit (PDF and vector formats). Maps generated with BarrioMap are formal descriptions of a site, with defined resolution, scale, and explicit distance information, the kind of output a planning process actually needs, not just a screenshot of an online map.

Traditional planning practice relies on licensed software to filter and interpret information from open source maps, and using open tools for formal mapping is often slow and complex enough that only professionals end up with the skills and software to do it. BarrioMap is built to close that gap: it adds quantitative, geo-referenced data to grassroots knowledge, so citizens and decision makers can work from the same kind of map. Whether you're an architecture student or a community member with a grassroots project, BarrioMap was made for you.
