Paris, the New Capital of OpenStreetMap
Having hosted the Olympic Games, Paris is preparing to welcome another international event where community, openness, and diversity will be central to the event. Like the sporting disciplines themselves, OpenStreetMap’s mapping covers a multitude of themes and territories.
Nature and hiking enthusiasts will find a space for expression there, as well as professionals in the field of geographic data.
