Abstract
The state of the art of collaborative community mapping in the UK is reviewed. Employing five contrasting case studies, a contextual approach is proposed as the most useful way of assessing the changing significance of these local alternative cartographies. Parish mapping, green maps, artistic maps, open source mapping and cycle mapping are best understood as political, social, aesthetic and technological practices reflecting differing institutional configurations.
