5 fully illustrated map covers celebrating my home city of Birmingham. I am so proud to have been invited to breathe life and colour into these Birmingham cycle routes. Find out more at here.

“The maps look absolutely incredible and we are really, really pleased with the magic Milan has worked.
They are beyond anything we have seen or used before and I truly believe Milan has managed to capture people’s attention in a way that has done the whole project so much justice – bravo!”
