A mapping party is a collective urban walk. The aim is to explore collectively an area, to produce geo-referenced data. This workshop, initiated by OpenStreetMap’s community, is currently appropriated by local authorities to include this kind of urban walks in citizen participation dispositifs using digital technologies : citizen metrology on urban air quality, on sound environment, remarkable trees inventory, corner urban services mapping. In this article, we analyse experiences from three cities : Pornichet, Nantes and Rennes. With a cross analysis, we define the edges of a “mapping party“ urban walk typologies.. We present in particular how urban actors link together the digital spaces and face-to-face workshop. Lastly we analyse how this hybrid dispositifs is used by participants.
