Urban Graphics
Urban Graphics are a multidisciplinary team of cartographers and graphic designers. We create maps
and associated communication tools to facilitate the enhancement of urban and rural areas. Our main
sectors of work are in regeneration and redevelopment at both strategic and local levels.
Our approach to the visual language of modern day cartography stems from traditional map-making
methods. The array of up-to-date cartographic tools, techniques and media can be overwhelming and
communicating urban maps in the right way to the right audience is a key component of influencing;
the regeneration of major projects; public perception; and turning visions into reality.
The graphic vocabulary of urban plans has evolved over centuries and expressing maps without
letting the technology override the message is our real art. We achieve beautifully illustrated maps by
combing the balance of experience; design principles; and creative flair.
