ESPON Hyper -Atlas Project


The purpose of the Hypercarte Project is to create interactive production tools for the representation and cartographic interpretation of spatial phenomena. It takes into account the particular nature of these phenomena (such as mobility) as well as the extreme complexity of the social and political demands which can be directed to a statistical cartography. The concept of "Hypercarte" is based on the central hypothesis that any spatialisation of a social-economic phenomena can be the subject of an infinite number of representations according to their intrinsic nature, and/or according to the hypotheses of the map designer and/or according to the objectives, demands, skills or even faith in the end.
