 Nowadays, maps are more than a physical and linear representation of territory. They are means to express concerns, reflect or criticize the public space and the urban life in a very subjective way. The portrayal of these maps expands and upgrades its content with other kinds of information and signification, placing us as active individuals in the global space, making us part of something, an identity.
-It is interesting to explore the possibilities that these means offer not just to situate us geographically in some global coordinates, but also to place us inside a problematic, a social experience or an identity. Crucially, we can share all these information with the rest of the world. This remind us of the global village that McLuhan used to talk about. Furthermore, it lets us see how far individuals can be away  from each other despite of living in the same place. Not only can technology bring us together, it can also separate us Therefore, this is a good practice to generate different employment of technology that can prevent these things from happening but encourages collective creativity to expand social awareness and collective memory.

+== Specific Objectives bye the requirements: ==
+.To build metaphorically a global vision about places shaping the hidden city, generating a collective visual poem about the city (i.e. Valencia).
+.To design a multi platform and multi device interface with information layers.
+.To generate and communicate poetics through the interface and interaction design.
+.To Capture and optimize images.
+.To locate and visualize images on the map with real geo information.
+.To refer and orient the information points through the navigation map.
+.To visualize verses on their own (without images), for the creation of the collective poem as well as to be archived, sent or publish on social networks.
+.To generate short poems narrowing by: neighborhoods or zones, randomly or direct selection by the user in an specific order.
+.To visualize short poems effectively and aesthetically.
+.To generate drifts from the verses selection.
+.To notify if the user is near the geolocation a verse.
+== Motivations ==
+To incite citizens to think about their own city and reflect how is the city they would like to live in with a positive question. Instead of asking "What do not like you about the city?" through the app we ask "What do you like the most about your city?".
+Cabanyal issue (gentrification). How this problems repeat itself in more places around the world.
