This event is part of London Data Week 2024

Are you curious about the hidden stories of your community? In this interactive workshop, Prospect Brixham will demonstrate how ONS (Office for National Statistics) open-access census data can unlock the secrets of places and communities, at a local level, using spatial mapping tools.

We’ll explore an anonymised area of London through its data alone, and use it to construct a collective image of the area and its community. Where is the picture incomplete? What data is missing? What worries or delights you about this place? What would you want to examine, with what evidence base?

Finally, we’ll reveal the location and compare it to our data-driven portrait. We will use it to collectively discuss data and place, which voices are missing, and how we/they can be represented. We hope you’ll come away with a vision of a place where citizens are empowered around data, their data rights and decision-making around data.

The workshop is open to everyone – no technical expertise required!
