Genius Loci is an interactive digital mapping tool designed and made by citizens to safeguard the Šančiai district of Kaunas against top-down decision-making that prioritized private value above public interest. Each map represents local landmarks, nature, people and their stories. Together, the interactive maps and over 1,000 inputs form a data set to create a new sustainable vision for this urban neighbourhood, preserving its cultural heritage, landscape and environment.
