Seeing Places, Shaping Places: the small area mapping revolution
By Steve Griffiths, freelance researcher and consultant in the fields of social and health policy, December 2008 - This Local Work argues that the implementation of public policy in many areas can benefit significantly from some kind of small area perspective, from economic development and reduction in health inequalities to skills development and worklessness interventions.
This Local Work provides a case study of how small area mapping has empowered managers in the public sector and their partners to inform policy priorities and guide their implementation in a way that is responsive to very local conditions. It draws on a process developed with Wolverhampton City Council’s Library and Information Services, which is highly replicable because it is a way of communicating the dynamics of a range of indicators within individual neighbourhoods.
