“For Philadelphia, Ancona used the city’s open data portal to add a few flourishes that the general open street map data lacked, including building outlines,” The Atlantic’s CityLab reported. The map spans the globe.
We’re big fans of the typography.
Ancona is a data scientist for the City of Philadelphia.
