"[...] cartographic power can undermine democratic principles and ideals such as fairness, justice, and balance. The representational integrity of certain communities can be carved up and dismembered, while concentrated and fortified for others. The rules of this game are clear though: the plan, forever in flux, is never innocent, nor can it be neutral. For as long as population is distributed unevenly and governed by structures of representation, democracy will be an architectural project under construction."
