Mapping planetary systems in the act of forming is key to understanding how planets form and why exoplanetary systems exhibit such an impressive variety of properties. I will present an overview of recent results based on high-angular resolution observations acquired with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array and the Jansky Very Large Array that are enabling astronomers to map newborn planetary systems on scales smaller than our Solar System.
