Nevertheless this occurs at the time that is available in larger volumes digital information and perform better means of computer assisted Cartography. From the rich experience of publishing many thematic atlas at different scales, both world and urban atlases authors discuss the making of the atlas and complexity in the management of information to improve its representation.
