Streetsmart Shanghai Map by Vandam

With the release of StreetSmart Shanghai, New Yorks award-winning mapmaker Stephan Van Dam has achieved both a personal best and a great leap forward in information design of China’s most Western-influenced metropolis. This pocket-sized, gloss-laminated, accordion-fold map 4 x 9 closed (9 x 32 open) is a graphic work of art that works. It shows immensely legible cartographic information and diagrammatic 3-D illustrations and is such an advance over what has previously been available that it will be indispensable not only to visitors, but to business and recreational travelers in Shanghai for years to come.StreetSmart Shanghai, New Yorks award-winning mapmaker Stephan Van Dam has achieved both a personal best and a great leap forward in information design of China’s most Western-influenced metropolis.
