At a time when geographic names are turned into political weapons, we need principled frameworks that are participatory, research-driven, reparative, & paired with education. New piece w/Christine K.

Our work on gendered cities continues to be cited by journalists and public entities. In this case, the Gijón City Council (Asturias) cited our work and website in an initiative to rename a street after a female figure: 🔗 www.gijon.es/es/noticias/...

#OTD in 1936, Federico García Lorca was assassinated by Spanish fascists during the Civil War. He was one of the greatest Spanish poets of the 20th cent and one the most commemorated figures in the Spanish street map, with 1154 streets. France and Italy also have more than 100 streets honoring him.

How do you like Vaccine Drive, Radiography Road, or Laboratory Place? Glasgow, Scotland councillors ridiculed over "creative" street name ideas for housing estate. Meant to honor site's history as former hospital, but caused an outbreak of criticism. www.thetimes.com/uk/scotland/...

Glasgow councillors ridiculed over ‘silly’ new street names

Radiography Road and Virology Grove also suggested for roads on the site of a former hospital, but locals mocked Glasgow council’s ‘creative’ plans

Los nombres de las calles de un municipio no solo trazan su historia, también hablan de su identidad. En esa parte del relato oficial que se monumentaliza, la violencia simbólica excluye a las mujeres. En @es.theconversation.com con Victoria Galloso theconversation.com/calles-con-n...

It has been about two years since we launched our street-names search apps. This figure summarizes the usage of the apps. In total, 28,400 queries and ~6,000 downloads. Not bad for an app like this, but we hope the numbers keep growing

RESULT 1: People have more knowledge about the figure commemorated in their streets. We ask respondents if they know the professions of each figure in the sample of streets. This heatmap shows that figures are much better known by people living on streets honoring them: [3/10]
