A Green Map is a locally-made map that uses the universal Green Map® Icons to highlight the social, cultural, and sustainable resources of a particular geographic area.
Some Green Maps focus only on beneficial natural and sustainability sites, while others include problems impacting community well-being, such as toxic hot spots and other sources of blight. Many Green Maps include narrative text, photos, and background information about the sites identified by the Icons.
Different groups of people have been creating Green Maps for over a decade now, designing unique maps of their communities.

Sustainable Swansea has become part of this global movement by working in different communities in Swansea to create our very own green maps, each of which can be downloaded here as an electronic document (PDF) or view the complete online map at the bottom of the page.

The latest map in the series, the Morriston Green map is now available, and work is underway on the next map in the series, which will feature the Pontarddulais area.
