Brussels, a city built on a wet marshland, has a rich history of landscape design and engineering. Earth was removed and resettled to create higher ground while parks and avenues were built to patch the gaps among different infrastructures. Thus the network of green spaces and parks in Brussels has become an important topic of its modern and contemporary urban development. Recently, there is a massive abandoned trainyard around the north-east suburbs of Brussels, waiting to be urbanised and transformed into a new neighbourhood.

their places of living. This media became popular and applied as real-time responses during the massive protests in 2019 in Hong Kong. One of the anonymous streams of mapping produced more than 500 maps over the year and attracted thousands of views per each map. To understand the significance of real-time maps, this thesis investigated the history of social cartography in Hong Kong and explained the emergence of the maps from the perspective of the protestors. It also includes a critical reflection on the maps using the contents from an interview and alternative examples of communication among the protestors. At the end of the thesis, the archiving format of the maps was discussed in a way to reestablish their role after the protests. Foreign precedents were brought into analysis to find a better way to construct the archive of tragedies and present it to future generations who may want to defend their rights in a similar manner.
