Green Map

A 2002 ‘Summit’ at Bellagio, was a catalyst for hubs that formed in Japan, Taiwan, Indonesia, Europe; an ongoing example is the national Cuban Green Map network.

GreenMap.org went online in 1995 and it was re-launched in May 2007, with a resource center for Mapmakers all over the world to communicate and exchange their Green Map making experience.

This content management system was named the Greenhouse, symbolizing its ability to cultivate and present a “garden of Green Maps”.

Grassroots and established non-profits, universities and schools, governmental and tourism agencies use the globally designed[4] icons and adaptable methodologies to develop and publish their own community's Green Map in a way that meets the needs of residents and visitors.

For example, university-community collaborative projects[5] have taken place for twenty years at University of Victoria in British Columbia, Canada, delving into perspectives ranging from First Nations, LGBTQ, and early childhood education.
