London Smellscapes (another version amongst darker map tiles) sets out to map the prevailing types of smells on London's streets. What is most amazing is that it does this yesteryear using Flickr photos. Or rather it manages to map the prevailing smells yesteryear using smell-related words tagged on Flickr photos.

The map colors London streets yesteryear iv dissimilar smells, 'emissions', 'nature', 'food' too 'animals'. If y'all explore the map y'all volition notice that nature too animate existence related smells appear to give off predominantly inwards parks. Unsurprisingly London Zoo (in Regents Park) is completely dominated yesteryear animate existence smells.

Barcelona too has its ain Barcelona Smellscape map. In Barcelona you'll notice that the Parc de la Ciutadella is too total of animate existence related smells. That only mightiness survive because it is abode to the city's zoo. La Rambla has a pose out of dominant smells along its length, including animate existence smells (presumably from all those caged birds), nutrient smells (lovely al fresco dining) too emission smells (bloody cars).

You tin larn to a greater extent than nearly how the iv dissimilar aroma categories were determined too how the map was created on the CartoDB blog.
