Tuesday 16th November 2021

Virtual SC 2021

Thank you for joining our virtual Scottish Conference!

With the rise of the "20 minute neighbourhood" and the appetite for more sustainable, local communities, we looked at how spatial data has been utilised to drive local economic growth and show the ways that Geography brings us together. We hope you found inspiration in this morning of discussion where we showcased best practice. The stories and talks are aimed to help stimulate discussion and generate new ideas to help you further learn and collaborate.
