Response to "Carto city"

I thought it was interesting how the whole urban mapping they were talking about was addressed from ancient to contemporary. Also, the way they discussed how different countries or nations tried their own ways of mapping from cartographic ways to landscaping or even based on society. However, I felt that there was too much information presented in such a little passage which after a while had my mind wondering what was going on. Next, I like how they compared such modern mapping to the form of Mapquest to the mappings of greats cities and how they either were already on paper or expanded to be urban. Then, I get the message of how urban mapping is a representation on the relationship between space and cartography and when one changes, it alters the relationship between them. Also, with the technologies presented now is the time to take advantage of these opportunities with space.
