Albuquerque interactive map

One of my recent freelance projects, an interactive map for the City of Albuquerque, just went live yesterday afternoon. I was contracted by Clearwired to do the Flash development, while the talented Ted Slampyak did the illustrations. The map highlights city efforts at being “green,” such as promoting bicycling and hybrid cars, investing in wind power and planting thousands of trees along the Rio Grande. My favorite animated icon has to be the little guy by the pool, who occasionally sits up to stretch. (My second favorite: the excitable parking meter.)

I REALLY love the job you guys did on the sustainability site! Beautiful (especially the flash)!

Awesome flash graphic. I had fun making all the elements “grow” :o). Was curious if off-hand you know of any great examples of flash maps of the world. We’re looking to do something interesting with our new webpage and were looking for some examples to give our vendor. I think our map is going to need to have a LOT of information on it and I’m afraid it will look clunky/busy.

Thanks!

I can’t think of any particularly standout globe-oriented Flash maps at the moment, but I’ve bookmarked a few maps (most not world-oriented) that do interesting things.

You might be able to find some examples at El Pais; the Spanish newspaper is very prolific with the Flash infographics.

This is awesome! I spent awhile just mousing over all the the stuff and I don’t even live in abq, nm.
