SSHRC Awarded IDG 2011: This pilot project will lay the groundwork for the creation of a digital, interactive map of the city of Edmonton. Four specific objectives: 1] creation of a network of researchers, students, practitioners and community-involved citizens interested in urban theory and cultures, as well as in the burgeoning field of digital humanities. 2] devising criteria to select, and then gather the most relevant data on Edmonton urban life: historical maps, crime statistics, public art, and green space are just a few elements that might be considered and consulted. 3] developing a set interpretative themes that will reveal the narrative aspects of city life in order to produce new meanings out of it. 4] development of a team capable major, multi-year collaborative research that will not only consolidate the digital map initiative, but also lead to substantial comparative work on new representations of everyday life in major North American cities.
