Common Ground is a community-based mapping and planning project that provides mapping and learning resources for schools, neighbourhoods and communities wishing to undertake sustainable community development and planning projects. Community mapping is a way for local citizens to reinhabit their home place. It is a participatory educational and planning process which maps the social, economic and ecological assets,history and development of a given place. People of all ages share their knowledge, values and experience with others as a basis for visioning and planning.
