Discussion questions
Chapter 5 Lines and Areas
questions
Are maps really just a bunch of lines on a page screen?!
Considering examples discussed in this chapter (e.g.,airports) or other examples of ‘strange’ geographies, what changes to standard ways of representing areas on maps or in data might these call for?
What are the implications of adopting Smith’s approach to spatial data where areas cannot overlap?
When would such an approach break down?
