London 21 Environmental Inequalities Project

Filed under: Community Action & Campaigns   

For two years, ending in July 2008, London 21 ran an exciting pilot programme on environmental inequalities. The project worked with five community groups across London supporting local people to identify their own concerns about their local environment's, and use map-making as a way to gather and present their own evidence to facilitate action. Read more about the pilot groups.

As part of the project we worked with several groups to create online community environment maps on our Community Maps webpage. Take a look to find out how these local groups have used mapping to to represent their local areas. Community Maps Website

Community Mapping Action Pack

We've created an action pack detailing how any local group can use the simple mapping techniques employed during the project to create their own local community maps. This free resource is available for download here.
