One of Apur’s tasks is to analyse social change. It is particularly in the context of the Observatories (monitoring bodies) with which Apur is associated that it considers and analyses the family, living conditions, housing, economic and commercial development as well as disadvantaged neighbourhoods, poverty and exclusion.
The studies resulting from this work have in common the fact that they are based on sets of statistics which highlight changes in certain facts and almost always supply a cartographic representation of these changes.
The collection of maps in this work have different functions: those that analyse and those that synthesise. The aim is not to create an exhaustive inventory but rather to show the variety of subjects and possible representations, based on recent Apur studies and notes. Each map comes with references concerning its source, geographic scope, availability of data and methodology.
