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!

the up and coming, always hip, Austin, Texas would make a very cool choice…
New York is a shoe in. I’d also go with London and Barcelona–both awesome European cities.
definitly dubai. dubai is a city that within the past few years, screams the definition of being “greatly impacted by man through the process of urban design/development and capital investment.” the whole reasoning behind its massive growth is for capital gain. their oil will eventually run out within the years, and so they are relying on a new industry for a new capital, which seems to be working– the population increase speaks for itself. this city and its growth is hardly organic. the city literally has mans impact on it day and night with construction going around the clock.
based on the theme you have to do Istanbul, Turkey. also, Hong Kong. Dubai is a good one too.
TOTALLY CUTE!
NYC of course!!
My vote is for Dubai.
mexico city!
One of the new plates NEEDS to be Chicago. The city was burned down in the Great Chicago Fire and had to be started practically from scratch again and it was also given a man-made quick jot from the World’s Columbian Exposition in 1893 which still effects the lay-out and look of the city more than 100 years later. Plus, I bet it would sell really well – Chicagoans love to display and honor their city! For now I’d want to have the black Los Angeles plate if I win one! – Diana H.
I second the motion for CHICAGO. The previous poster said it better than I.
My two picks would be Miami (hometown) and Marrakesh.
I think a “spy” theme would be cool – so maps of Helsinki and Minsk would be my vote.
Well I would have to say BOSTON! It’s one of the U.S’s oldest cities and has retained its colonial charm amidst all the urban growth (ie the state of the art Zakim bridge)! Where else on earth would you see “Old Ironsides” from the War of 1812 near a modern bridge unprecedented by any other in the world?!
I thought I was going to be really original suggesting Dubai, but looks like several people have mentioned it. It’s definetly the pace-setter in the Middle East right now, not just for capital investment but also for innovative design.
I also think Mexico City would be a great choice – being as it’s the most populous city on earth and sits in the middle of the greater (north/south) American continent.
It would be so cool if they had Hong Kong or Tokyo.
