Some of you might remember these fantastic city map plates from notNeutral that I posted on last month. Well, the plates got such a great response from readers that notNeutral would like to hear more from you! They’re planning to add 4 more cities to the map plate collection for fall, and are looking for suggestions as to what those cities should be….which is where you come in!
There is a theme to the collection – so that should help you narrow it down from the zillions of cities out there. The theme is “Culture and Capitalism” – and the quick summary of what they’re looking for in the chosen cities is this: (as quoted from Julie Smith-Clementi, notNeutral President) “We are looking for four cities that have been greatly impacted by man through the process of urban design/development and capital investment, rather than growth through a slower more organic model.” It might also help to read about how they decided upon the cities that are currently in their collection too. Click here to read that press release (pdf).
So – what city (or cities) do YOU think should belong in the upcoming map plate collection? Tokyo? London? NYC? Tell us what you think – and you’ll be entered for a chance to win your favorite map plate from the current collection! TWO winners will be chosen! Just post your suggestion here by Friday, May 25 at midnight PST. Good luck!

I’d love the black Los Angeles plate, I grew up in southern California. Course it would be really neat to see California City, CA as a plate too since no one has EVER heard of this place. (actually where I lived)
Seattle. It’s such a naturally beautiful place. Situated between mountains and water. Though the first time I saw the port I wasn’t thinking of it as beautiful, it was kindly pointed out to me that the port brings in boat loads of money (not literally, but still) to the area. The city and roadways are built (and squeezed) between the Puget Sound and Lake Washington. You can see The Olympic mountains to the West, the Cascades to the East and Mt. Rainier to the South.
From my p.o.v., it’s certainly seems like a city that has been “greatly impacted by man through the process of urban design/development and capital investment”.
Sometimes I try to imagine how this place was before the masses arrived. Must have been heavenly before power lines became part of the view. Of course, yes – I do love electricity (still I wish the lines were buried underground).
ROMA, ITALIA!!!!!!
Being in NYC, I’d go with that as well as Hong Kong and Dubai.
These are so funky and very cool! Since I live just 1 hour north of NYC, I would love to see a plate with NYC on it. I’d also love to see Paris, Frankfurt, and London!
Cairo: fun memories of their high school boy’s soccer team. (12 years ago)
I would have to say either Dubai or NYC
London! London! London! When you are tired of London, you are tired of life (Samuel Johnson)!
They have to do NYC. How can they not!?
I’m living in Atlanta so throw a peach on there and we’re good to go too.
I say GENEVE, Switzerland. Not Geneva but the french spelling. It’s a fabulous city that has been greatly impacted by man through the process of urban design/development and capital investment.
I’m partial to Boston, but that’s because I’m from there :) But, I think that Tokyo, London and NYC are good choices. How about doing something a little different with the map though – like mapping the NYC subway system or other transportation routes.
I’d have to say NYC as well.
Dubai and Sydney are the first two that come to mind…I also have to throw in my hometown of Nashville!
I would have to say…
1. Tokyo
2. Sydney
3. Las Vegas
4. The re-emerging New Orleans
Istanbul—it’s the coolest things.
