What is a collaborative mapping project?

A fantastic method for tapping into the wisdom of the crowd, engaging citizens and neighbors, and tackling tough issues. From conservationists mapping animal sightings, to urban planners mapping real-life city use, to lovers mapping great date locations, the possibilities are endless! Some popular and successful examples:

• Ask fellow citizens to mark trash, waste, or other issues so your town, city, or council can deal with the problem.
• Ask fellow nature lovers to mark and describe where they've seen rare, sensitive or invasive species.
• Ask for recommendations, comments, and opinions on a proposed development. Help citizens contribute to the future of their cities.
• Fight harassment in your city by asking women to map the places they have been verbally or physically harassed.

Canvis.app gives you the tools to host all of these projects, and to find and contribute to the ones that matter to you.
