A map-first Melbourne pilot
This Melbourne release is a geometry pilot rather than a finished neighbourhood-guide corpus. The map contains 130 commonly used area names, with boundaries built for spatial orientation from reviewed seeds, developed landuse and the coastal exclusion. It is useful for seeing how the named places sit together; it is not an official administrative boundary or a recommendation about where to live.
What the map can show
Use the map to compare the broad shape of the study area, the coastal edge and the operational rail layer. The area polygons are a starting point for later editorial work, not a substitute for checking a particular street, building, commute or lease. Open the map and inspect the areas that matter to your own routine.
What is not published yet
Fifty-five Melbourne area guides are published now: Alphington, Balaclava, Beaumaris, Bentleigh East, Berwick, Box Hill, Braybrook, Brighton, Brunswick, Camberwell, Carlton, Carnegie, Caulfield, Clayton, Coburg, Collingwood, Dandenong, Deepdene, Docklands, Doncaster, Elsternwick, Essendon West, Fairfield, Flemington, Footscray, Fitzroy, Glen Waverley, Greensborough, Hawthorn, Ivanhoe, Ivanhoe East, Kensington, Keysborough, Kew, McKinnon, Melbourne CBD, Mordialloc, Mulgrave, Northcote, Oakleigh South, Pakenham, Park Orchards, Point Cook, Prahran, Reservoir, Richmond, Ringwood, St Kilda, Southbank, South Yarra, Sunshine, Tottenham, Werribee and Williamstown. Rent, transit and expat metrics have not been researched for publication, so the map does not turn missing evidence into estimates. The remaining 75 area guides will be added only after each area has hand-written, source-backed coverage; until then, the map remains the complete public output for those areas.
