Mapping Route 100

In the last couple of weeks, I've had to pack up my bags and head back to Seattle from Denmark. For the past six months I have had the privilege of researching at Aalborg University, supported by a Valle Scholarship from the University of Washington. The experience has been extremely educational and I hope to return to research again for the university's Centre of Mobilities and Urban Studies in the future. But, it was time for me to head home and finish up my coursework for concurrent masters degrees in Seattle...

Before departing, I pulled together the first full draft of the working paper my research partner and I have been writing about Aalborg's bicycle commuter Route 100. In addition to writing, this involved my finalizing the set of maps that will be included within the paper to display our theoretical and ethnographic work.

Although the draft working paper is not quite ready to be unveiled to the public, I'm pleased to say that the maps are! Below is a document including every single map I have designed for this project. I have organized the maps according to which portion of our Linear Mobilities research model the theme of the map falls under. Additionally, I have maps exhibiting our fieldwork, the distribution of flyers advertising our online survey, and comparisons between themes we have researched.
