City

The map

City maps are grids first, poetry second. Blocks, one-way streets, and the alleys that only locals know.

How to draw it

scale    1:10 000
grid     true north, 5° declination
streets  hierarchy of 4 weights
labels   sans, uppercase, spaced
pocket   folded to 3 × 4

What to include

The block you live on. The shortcut through the park. The corner that smells like bread. A map is a memory with north on it.
