Public Map Platform is a two-year research initiative led by Cambridge University to make places in the UK better for the people who live there

“I just came out of the all-Wales Local Nature Partnership meeting today and a few people were talking about how exciting the Public Map project is and how it could be a 'game-changer' for Local Nature Partnerships in the future! I know everything is stressful right now but just wanted you to know that people are very bought-in and cheering for the project to succeed.”

“We have had so much fun being part of this project, all the pupils have been engaged with all the activities from mapping their journey to school, mapping local areas that are important to them and going on a trip to taking part in the personal air sensor research - this information was so interesting! Our air sensor in the classroom has provided very interesting data too where we have discovered that CO2 is quite high, so we have been trying to lower it in different ways such as opening the door, buying plants, using an air purifier. All the staff that we have worked with have been so great and the workshops we've had have been so fun and the children have learned so much! We look forward to having more sessions with the environmental researchers in the new year. Diolch.”

“What's great about your project in particular is that it is open source. in our world of digital boundaries and bubbles and spaces we live, it's great to be able to share and link information like this across services so that people can find things where they are rather than having to drag themselves digitally to ‘somewhere new’.”
