Project Description

The Sharjah InfoCart is a mobile kiosk that traveled to malls and outdoor public
places in Sharjah including Al Qasba, Sahara Centre Mall, Rolla, and Al-Jubail
bus station, during January and February 2011. Residents, workers and visitors
were asked to participate by providing information about places that are important
to their daily lives and to their community. This information was used to create the
Sharjah CityMap. Unlike tourist maps, the CityMap reflects the complex experiences
of people in Sharjah, with its ‘points of interest’ determined by those who live and
work here. The CityMap is published in six languages and copies are distributed for
free from the InfoCart during the Biennial.
