When I delved deeper into LinkedIn in this field, I became more aware of the potential of this discipline, the significant level of activity, the use of the latest technologies and artificial intelligence, and the active and professional community of planners worldwide. These individuals generously shared their knowledge and experience with the urban planning community and humbly accepted connection requests, ready to offer guidance. I am grateful to them.

Consequently, I decided to contribute to this positive and constructive LinkedIn community by producing specialized content. I am sharing my first infographic on “20 Essential Maps for Urban and Regional Planning” as a pilot version infographic from the “Planners Toolkit” series. Your feedback will be highly valuable in improving this content.

⁉️The second and final part of this infographic will be released soon. What types of map do you think are missing?
