Why Are We Doing This?
Planning is intended to help us design and organise spaces where we can thrive, but it has consistently been falling short...
What Are We Doing?
We’re using open mapping processes to enable communities to show what’s important to them, and to have a voice in how their spaces are designed and developed.
Where Are We Doing It?
For many reasons, we’ve chosen Ynys Môn / The Isle of Anglesey as the place to develop this project.
