Active CiTizenship and Social Housing (ACtS)
Mapping for Change has joined forces with the University of Udine (Italy) and the University of Oulu (Finland) on a Learning Exchange Project that aims to explore which kind of contribution informal learning, in the context of social housing, could reinforce social cohesion, active citizenship, intercultural dialogue, gender equality and personal fulfilment.
How to spend a Million? – Northfleet Big Local Trust
The Big Lottery Fund in England is investing up to £200 million in 100-150 neighbourhoods and the area of Northfleet has been chosen as one of the first 50 of those communities. Mapping for Change developed an online interactive map where community members can add all the good things as well as visualise places that need to be improved using the Big Local fund.
Citizen Science used to Map Community Air Quality
In an innovative approach to tackling air pollution, MfC and UCL have been supporting communities across London to measure and map local air quality. Using a ‘citizen science’ approach, local residents have been able to see real results and have now embarked on a campaign to demand the seriousness of the issue be addressed.
Local Schools for Local Children
A group of parents were not happy with the lack of good secondary schools in their area. MfC provided Geographical Analysis and Visualisation on a map so the group could use it as an evidence of deprivation to claim for Local Schools for Local Children.
UK Climate & Community Action Map
It started with three local projects, two of them ‘Climate Action Maps’, in Newcastle upon Tyne and north Dorset which have now been supplemented by a map of larger climate projects in London that then became absorbed into the UK map. Many groups have added themselves to the map since then and over 500 are now displayed.
Royal Docks Noise Mapping
In an innovative approach to tackling noise pollution residents in one of London's noisiest neighbourhoods have decided to tackle the issue by conducting their own noise mapping surveys. With training and GIS support from Mapping for Change local people have seen real results from this "citizen science" approach.
Putting Ourselves on the Map
A pilot project working with three primary schools in Tower Hamlets to develop child centered views of the local community and raise awareness of issues around sustainability.
Pepys Air quality
Residents in the Pepys Estate expressed concerns over local air quality. They had particular concerns over the mechanical break-up of vehicles, large goods vehicles servicing the scrap yard and local traffic, which were seen as potential sources of pollution. Local residents decided to do an air quality mapping survey, which was presented to the Local Authority to take actions.
Hackney Wick Community Map
Mapping for Change through a series of workshops, focused group meetings and field days have been working with the community to develop an on-line community map.
Climate Action Map for North Dorset and Newcastle-upon-Tyne
North Dorset and Newcastle upon Tyne have been the two places chosen to develop these new 'green maps' of action by local communities to tackle climate change.

In December/January 2009 a pilot project was carried out in Ziguinchor, Senegal to trial the use of interactive map making as a way for students in Africa and the UK to creatively communicate and strengthen their school links.
