• Resumen

  • The content of main strategy maps of ten worldwide metropolitan strategies is analysed to identify similarities and differences leading to a classification of the strategies. Their structure is compared via traditional cartographic elements of point, line and area, and ?relational? elements such as mesh, attraction and territorial dynamics. The type of each map is then compared via the level of abstraction of map content. Type and structure are jointly considered to assess the ?relationality? in each map. Planning context of the Vancouver, South East Queensland and London strategies are analysed to identify reasons for differences in map structure and type.
