🌎Really happy to be using @Mapbox tools to develop the Atlas of Ownership, an open digital library to collect and categorise case studies of land ownership around the world and across history.

Check it out and contribute

[Mapbox @Mapbox]

For #mondaymapday, explore the concept of property ownership - and contribute examples of different property systems - with the Atlas of Ownership by @OpenSystemsLab: https://t.co/DkZRJpGOOm #BuiltWithMapbox

We made an (I think rather cool) project.

The Atlas of Ownership - an open map of property rights and obligations across the world.
