The Royal Docks region
is
facing huge changes in
the
coming years. Many pe
ople
feel unable to influence
the
plans, either as inform
ation
is difficult to find or too
technical.
When local needs or loc
al
knowledge are ignored
,
people are seldom happ
y
with development in th
eir
area.

If this is of interest to you then come along to our
Community Mapping Workshop on Saturday 27 October 2007
The workshop is the beginning of our mapping work in the Royal Docks. We will
continue to work with the community over the coming year to develop the map.
This is part of a wider project funded by the UrbanBuzz programme that aims to
share knowledge and ideas between academics, organisations and local
communities.
This project is supported by the UCL-led UrbanBuzz Programme, within which UEL is a prime partner. For more information visit: www.urbanbuzz.org
We are working with communities in East London and the Thames
Gateway to:
•
Develop an online interactive local map as a community resource - a
one-stop shop for anyone interested in the state of their community.
•
Train and support local people to contribute to and maintain their map
•
Establish a text-messaging system to inform local people about
events in their area
•
Enhance community spirit and pride by bringing people together
throughout the region to have a say in their community’s future, and
learn more about their area and the people they share it with.
How can I get involved?
A free workshop is taking place where you can meet the project team, have
your say about the map, and find out more about how you can get
involved.
