How are all of these projects related?
What do these projects do for society as a whole?
Which project is your favorite?

All of these websites are psychogeographic projects. They all focus on one specific area. They map it, and then embellish it with stories or thoughts on the different places. These projects range in size from one street to the entire world. No matter how big or small they are though, they all focus on one specific thing. 

These projects do a lot for society as a whole. If they are about a specific area or street, people around the world can find out a lot of information on that area. They do not share just information though, it is also stories and personal accounts of places. What all of this really does is make the world a smaller place. These projects are also good history tools. The 34 North 118 West project is designed to tell the industrial history in Los Angelos. Years from now these projects can be looked back on to reveal history.
