Press & Mentions
"As the looms travelled around the island, they grew a skin of stories, found objects and drawings of favourite places."
Public Map featured on Dros Frecwast on BBC Radio Cymru on the 30th September - listen from 25:06. [available until 28th October]
We're thrilled to share that BBC Cymru Fyw has published a lovely piece on Public Map and Lle Llais.
Public Map Platform features in the Autumn edition of Cynllunio, the Journal of RTPI Cymru. In it, Professor Scott Orford provides an overview of the project and how it will help planners and planning decisions.
We’re thrilled to that Public Map Platform is showcased in the first issue of Future Observatory – the Design Museum’s new online journal on new thinking around design research, ecology, and a future.
Project bard Gillian Brownson has written a piece about the dark-skied inspiration Ynys Môn provides for her forthcoming engagement work with children on the island.
"The data gathered as part of this project will be useful to local authorities beyond Anglesey, and will inform their decision making as they pursue their own green transitions."
"It’s important that we find ways to record children and young people’s views on climate change. They are the future generation who will be affected by the decisions of policymakers and planners. Despite this, their views are often overlooked and so the aim of this project is to give them a voice."
"The map layers will constantly grow with information and sophistication, reconfigured according to local policy and boundaries."
"...by working closely with communities, the projects will also make sure that local views and experiences are front and centre in our transition to a cleaner, more secure energy system."
"This will enable local authorities to capture the social, environmental and cultural value in a way that feeds into their systems and processes when monitoring the green transition."
