Crowd-mapping generates geolocative data. This is made up of points "dropped" to a precise geographical location. The data can then be analysed and synthesised for insights, tendencies and "hotspots".
The diversity of its applications shows the adaptability of the method. The digital, community-based method of crowd-mapping has been used across the globe. Under-represented citizens have embraced the opportunity to tell their stories as a way to engage with and change their experience of cities.
