About the Project

During December 2014, we designed and developed mapa.valpo.net, a structure that allows you to add items to a collective cartography. The project was opened to the city in the Festival of Arts of Valparaiso 2015 through online events and 2 workshops with experts that took place in the Centex.

The map is configured from different base maps and contains relevant limits of the territory, such as the hills and neighborhood units in the city. Using the list of territorial organizations published on the transparency page of the Valparaíso municipality, we have created a georeferenced record of neighborhood councils organized by type of organization and hill, and with the help of these groups, we aim to keep the online data updated.

The registry extends beyond neighborhood councils and is open and directed to Cultural and Artistic Centers, Youth Organizations, Sports Organizations, Cooperatives, and organizations with similar characteristics that represent and promote specific values of Valparaíso's neighborhood communities.

In January 2015, we created a record of modern architecture and industrial heritage of the city as a context layer of social organization, such as research on the Molo de abrigo and the Almacenes Fiscales de Valparaíso. Leapfrog has previously developed an experimental series of digital platforms based on Drupal, aiming to empower citizens to organize and improve the protection of this UNESCO World Heritage site: cerroconcepcion.org, ascensoresvalparaiso.org, and noalmallbaron.cl.
