But as time lapses, cities learn, adapt, and concur the challenges they are faced with. Just like living organisms, cities (and let’s not forget towns) evolve. And that flexible ability to withstand evolution has very much to do with these 4 simple facts. Not only have these facts brought to live Map Your City, they will continue to guide and improve (y)our product, (y)our team and, if it is up to us, (y)our bright future.
Fact number 1: Cities are people
Bricks and mortar do not interact. The thriving heart of cities is people. People working, living and playing in the place they love and the community they feel connected to. We created Map Your City because we saw a pressing need for people to become more connected to their own cities and towns.
Richard Florida takes a closer look at why people live where they do and concludes that people moving to cities are looking for the following key things that matter to them most about the neighborhoods they live in; housing costs, proximity to jobs, transit, amenities, open space, and quality of both built and natural environments. And this varies by age and stage of life.
To build a city infrastructure that can handle this growing influx and urban dwellers’ demands, city planners are faced with a challenge. As The Human Scale documents, city planners tend to show a social blindness here. But starting with grassroots initiatives and the growing interest in the effects of placemaking as a result, a more human centered approach is entering city development. Contributing to a more open sourced, collaborative way of city making.
Fact number 2: Cities are innovation
You probably heard of “Lean startup” or “Value Proposition Design”? These are the guidelines for us at Map Your City and our generation of startups that bring their creative and innovative solutions towards a scalable business.
These smart creatives acknowledge the need to test, validate and modify their innovations in market reality and with help of existing key players. In this creative reality key players open up their networks for and share their knowledge & challenges they are facing with startups. This is not only unbelievably important for the startup, but also a major factor for a thriving innovation culture.
So for innovation to prosper, proximity to a connected startup ecosystem is a major driver. Firms & startups want to be close to other firms & startups, universities and research labs. They want to be in hyper connected surroundings with great amenities. Good coffee places seem to be one of them ; ).
Fact number 3: Cities are also towns
As cities grow so do the towns surrounding them, forming larger metropolitan areas. Increased mobility & connectivity allow us to move continuously throughout our metros. Live or work in one place, play in another, enjoy nature in a third, but connected to all.
Fact number 4: Every city has a history
Look at the lay out of a city from above and it will tell you a great deal about its history and how power shifted in time. Buildings, structures and spaces each have a story to tell. But the true way to discover history is to live it. Unfortunately we are not able to time travel (yet). But technology has continuously proven itself as a great way to come really close to those stories.
So when you travel you make sure you get some of this history “in”, at home you probably are proud of some of the local stories & heroes in your town, and for your business you are looking for a cool place with “character”.
There is is: Four facts that will drive cities forward. But remember: Whatever future (y)our cities will embark upon, it is (y)our future too.

- Data Processor: To the extent that it acts as a Data Processor in performing its obligations under this Agreement, Map Your City will process any Personal Data contained in the Customer Data in accordance with Customer’s reasonable and lawful instructions, and will employ appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect such Personal Data.
- “Data Processor” is defined as a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or any other body which processes Personal Data on behalf of the controller (the entity that determines the purpose and means of the processing of Personal Data – in this Agreement this entity is the Customer).
- “Personal Data” is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (“Data Subject”); an identifiable person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier, such as a name, identification number, location data, online identifier, or one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural, or social identity of that person.

Customer is responsible for providing complete and accurate billing information to Map Your City.
- Customer will be billed for the appropriate plan based on set limitations of the plan. Some features are offered as add-ons to Customer’s account and Customer will be billed that additional amount with each billing cycle for as long as the add-on is active. If Customer uses an add-on in a way that violates this Subscriber Agreement, Terms of Service or Privacy Policy, Map Your City may terminate Client’s account.
- Map Your City may suspend or terminate Customer’s use of the Service if fees become past due. Customer is responsible for all taxes (excluding taxes on Map Your City’s net income) and Map Your City will charge tax when required to do so by law

- By Customer. Customer hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Map Your City, its licensees and licensors, and their respective employees, contractors, agents, officers and directors (together, the “Map Your City Affiliates”), from and against any and all liabilities, damages, obligations, losses, costs and expenses (including but not limited to reasonable attorney’s fees) (together, the “Losses”) arising from or as a result of any claim by a third party against Map Your City or the Map Your City Affiliates regarding: (i) use of or access to the Service by Customer or its Members and Owners in violation of this Subscriber Agreement or our User Terms of Service; or (ii) any data or Customer Data transmitted or received through, or posted or stored in, Customer’s account.
- By Map Your City.

In no event will Map Your City have any obligations or liability under this section arising from: (i) use of the Service in a modified form or in combination with materials not furnished by Map Your City; (ii) use of any third party app developed using Map Your City’s API; or (iii) any content, information, or data provided by Customer, Members or Owners, or other third parties. THIS INDEMNITY IS CUSTOMER’S ONLY REMEDY UNDER THIS SUBSCRIBER AGREEMENT FOR ANY VIOLATION BY MAP YOUR CITY OF ANY THIRD PARTY’S INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS.
- Infringement Claims. If the Service becomes, or in Map Your City’s reasonable judgment is likely to become, the subject of a claim of infringement, then Map Your City may: (i) obtain the right, at Map Your City’s expense, for Customer to continue using the Service; (ii) provide a non-infringing functionally equivalent replacement; (iii) modify the Service so that it is no longer infringing. If Map Your City, in its sole and reasonable judgment, determines that none of the above options are commercially reasonable, then Map Your City may suspend or terminate Customer’s use of the Service and provide Customer with a pro rata refund of prepaid fees.
- Process. The party seeking indemnification will provide prompt notice concerning the existence of an indemnifiable claim and cooperate fully with the indemnifying party in defending the claim. Failure to give prompt notice shall not constitute a waiver of a party’s right to indemnification and shall affect the indemnifying party’s obligations hereunder only to the extent that the indemnifying party’s rights are materially prejudiced by such failure or delay. The indemnifying party will have full control and authority over the defense of any claim; provided, however, that: (i) the indemnified party may join in the defense at its own expense using counsel of its choice; and (ii) any settlement requiring the party seeking indemnification to admit liability or make any financial payment will require such party’s prior written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
