Information technologies offer innovative ways to deal with urban space. EXPO 2015, as occasion to promote the local and regional area values, requires an original idea of mapping able to record, analyze and represent dynamically the complexity and heterogeneity of the hosting territory. The project aims to produce innovative senseable images of the city enhancing accessibility to the Event at various scales and gathering proactive feedbacks as profitable resource and legacy, through building expectations, field and immersive maps available on 2.0 smart-devices. Contents and tools design will be applied to two layers of mapping: 1) a layer of field maps and points of interaction with the users; 2) a layer of sensitive or immersive maps.
