Preface
Mapping Insights hosts a series of articles on topics relevant to cartographic theory and practice, posted monthly. They are intended as introductions to topics rather than in-depth review or analysis, to provoke further investigation and interest in the extensive discipline that is cartography.
Throughout 2024, articles will also be posted on my Substack, which will become my primary platform by the end of the year for exploring themes on cartography… and related subjects.

- Elements of a map
- The democratisation of mapping
