UK Local Authority Projects Use GIS To Modernize Planning
The United Kingdom is undertaking reforms in the planning system. Homes and streets from late Victorian and early 20th-century Britain are to be rediscovered and made fit for the 21st century. The Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government, UK, in 2020 published a white paper that outlined geospatial technology and data have an important role to play in the digital planning reform of the country. Similarly, using mapping and associated analytical tools was also one of the recommendations in the report released in February 2022 by the Independent Digital Task Force for Planning.
