Transforming housing, health and climate resilience with geography

The power of place within housing can be transformative. Every home, community and green space is connected to a location, and many housing providers are discovering the incredible value that can be unlocked when they start looking at their data through the lens of geography.

Geographic Information Systems (GIS) capture, store, analyse, manage and visualise data linked to location. GIS connects data to maps, allowing you to see patterns, relationships and trends that aren’t immediately obvious when data is spread across different spreadsheets and siloed management systems. This location-driven insight is revolutionising processes for housing associations of all sizes.
