Poplar Green Map

Overview

A new nature-led way of visualising social housing area in East London.

Challenge

Poplar Harca own and manage 10,000 homes, all roughly within one square mile, across 12 estates. Each estate has its own character and community centre but this means that residents don’t often cross over into other neighbourhoods and discover their green spaces and initiatives.

Solution

I illustrated and designed a folded map to show all the green related projects across Poplar, to encourage residents to explore and get involved, be that bee-keeping, learning about worms, or simply finding new green spaces.

Outcome

The map was dropped to over 3000 residents, and it has been used since at each of the Great Green Estate (link) workshops.
