Toronto Micro-Atlas
Field guides to a city you think you know
An independent atlas of interactive field guides. Each one takes a single system the city runs, its street trees, its buried ravines, its late-night washrooms, and turns the public record into a map you can actually read.

What a field guide is
Not a listicle and not a review. Each one starts from a record the city already keeps, checks it, and draws it. Read straight through for the argument, or open the map and go looking for your own street. More guides are under research.
