The creators of a much-loved, quirkily hand-drawn map of Melbourne released in 1991 hope a new generation will fall in love with a brand new 2017 version.

Producer Melinda Clarke says the city has changed "incredibly" in the 26 years since she and artist Deborah Young released the Melbourne Map, which depicted buildings, parks, trams and people in affectionate detail.

The Melbourne Star observation wheel, Etihad stadium, the Eureka Tower and Federation Square are among many landmarks non-existent in 1991 that will be included in the 2017 version, which has been redrawn from scratch.
