📍How is Great Britain changing? As part of #BECCA, we have created a national dataset that quantifies natural and built environment change across the whole of Great Britain🏢 Interactive map and data available soon... watch this space 👀 #30daymapchallenge | Day 21 - Raster

@SPHSU_Places @lauramacd78, & @HistEnvScot Laura Diffey-Higgins, enjoyed being part of the 2023 #ESRCFestival @UofGByresHub. Lots of interest from the public in the well-being benefits of heritage & in our interactive heritage map (created by @JessWhoMaps).

I ♥️ my allotment Did you know that only 6% of allotment holders in England are <35 years old? A quick map today to highlight where greenspace is allocated as allotments across Newcastle 🍓🫛🥕 Data - @OrdnanceSurvey Open Greenspace. #30daymapchallenge | Day 3 - polygons

@helenmakesmaps @OrdnanceSurvey @UK_CEH @SPHSU_Places So in an urban context we’ve managed to identify and categorise (at a 500m resolution across GB) sites of new developments, infill and superblocks! Hoping the dataset will be available for others to use soon 🤗

@JessWhoMaps @OrdnanceSurvey @UK_CEH @SPHSU_Places Ooh funky - love it! What kind of change are we talking about?

📍How is London changing? As part of #BECCA, we have quantified change between 2015 to 2020 for the whole of Great Britain using data from @OrdnanceSurvey and @UK_CEH. Here is a fun visual showing the contours of change across London📈 #30daymapchallenge | Day 2 - Lines

Really excited to be part of the W+G mentorship program this year as a mentee🗺️
