| City mapping platform

The use case developed on a 3D approach to city mapping standards and models is being taken forward by the Future Cities Catapult, NERC (BGS) and the Ordnance Survey (OS). A project outline has been prepared and funding routes for a prototype are being pursued.

| Brownfield cost calculator tool
|
A follow up meeting with Manchester local authority and the Homes and Communities Agency highlighted the potential for a brownfield cost calculator tool. The tool would bring together various environmental datasets, planning information and economic information to highlight where redevelopment of brownfield land is most cost-effective. A proposal to prototype the tool for Manchester has been submitted. A linked KE fellowship proposal on Brownfield development is being developed.
