Transforming Government: Delivering for citizens with a sense of place

From responding to climate change, to building new homes, to providing healthcare, government organisations in the UK are working hard to improve the lives of citizens and protect the environment. Success in achieving progress is almost always informed by location, whether that’s national, regional or more local, and so a sense of place is essential.

This publication highlights some of the many ways that government organisations are tackling some of the most significant challenges for society using location intelligence to find solutions and improve decision making. Location intelligence is made possible through a technology called Geographic Information Systems (GIS), combining digital (geospatial) data, data science, and visualisation to deliver greater understanding, real time awareness, transparency, collaboration and citizen engagement.

We believe these examples will inspire you to consider how location intelligence can help your organisation to make an even greater positive impact. We hope you will come to share our passion for the incredible potential of the geographic approach to make the world a better place both now and for future generations.
