On the Grid is a unique collection of neighborhood guides that showcases the vibrant local culture and creativity of cities around the world. Established between 2015 and 2019 by Hyperakt, this platform was a collaborative endeavor involving hundreds of designers, artists, and local creative contributors who shared their favorite spots, eschewing typical tourist attractions for authentic experiences. On the Grid offered a curated selection of recommendations, including boutiques, mom-and-pop shops, cocktail bars, galleries, and street art, intended to help travelers immerse themselves in each city's creative pulse.

Although the guides are no longer being updated due to the challenges posed by the pandemic, the essence of On the Grid remains a testament to the belief that creativity flourishes in every corner of the globe. For those who cherished these guides and are interested in contributing ideas for a future revival, On the Grid continues to welcome feedback from its community
