Mapping Every Single Parking Regulation in Philadelphia
“Parkadelphia” is pretty—and powerful.
Lauren Ancona’s dive into cartography started with what she calls her “weird obsession” with parking—specifically, the lack of information about parking regulations in Philadelphia. She explains in a Medium blog post:
That’s what spurred her to make her first map ever in 2014, which showed the residential parking permit zones in her city. From there, she went on to make a beautiful blueprint map of Philly, as well as a map showing blocked roads, transit closures, and other useful information during the pope’s visit last September. But all this time, she never really stopped working on the parking map that started it all.
