Neogeography

Neogeography refers to the use of modern digital tools, like online maps and geographic information, by everyday people to create, share, and explore spatial data. Unlike traditional cartography created by experts, neogeography empowers individuals and communities to visualize and analyze geographic information using accessible platforms such as Google Maps or open-source GIS tools. It fosters collaborative mapping, personal projects, and community initiatives, making geographic knowledge more flexible and inclusive. Essentially, neogeography democratizes geographic data, allowing anyone to participate in understanding and shaping their spatial environment.
