Maps are an intrinsic feature of the modern world - they hold both intellectual and aesthetic qualities. But how and why were the first maps created? The idea of mapping leads on to questions in society - how do we all link together? The tracks on this album focus on mapping and the importance of it, but also on the idea of the city, and what actually determines whether makes an impact on the world. The material forms part of the course DD100, An introduction to the social sciences: understanding social change.
