Throughout history, maps have been used as a tool to explore cities. They visualize a city's urban fabric through its streets, buildings, and points of interest. Besides purely navigation purposes, street names also reflect a city's culture through its commemorative practices. Therefore, cultural maps that unveil socio-cultural characteristics encoded in street names could potentially raise citizens' historical awareness. But designing effective cultural maps is challenging, not only due to data scarcity but also due to the lack of effective approaches to engage citizens with data exploration. To address these challenges, we collected a dataset of 5,000 streets across the cities of Paris, Vienna, London, and New York, and built their cultural maps grounded on cartographic storytelling techniques. Through data exploration scenarios, we demonstrated how cultural maps engage users and allow them to discover distinct patterns in the ways these cities are gender-biased, celebrate various professions, and embrace foreign cultures.

文化地图制图设计

纵观历史,地图一直被用作探索城市的工具。他们通过街道、建筑物和兴趣点将城市的城市结构形象化。除了纯粹的导航目的,街道名称还通过其纪念实践反映了一个城市的文化。因此,揭示以街道名称编码的社会文化特征的文化地图可能会提高公民的历史意识。但设计有效的文化地图具有挑战性,不仅因为数据稀缺,还因为缺乏有效的方法让公民参与数据探索。为了应对这些挑战,我们收集了巴黎、维也纳、伦敦和纽约等城市 5,000 条街道的数据集,并基于制图叙事技术构建了他们的文化地图。通过数据探索场景,
