The Diocese of London today launched a new online interactive mapping tool, which provides an overview of the major areas of regeneration across the capital. This new initiative represents a significant step for the Diocese in how best to channel their future planning of resources in local communities across London. The map was showcased at The Future of London Conference, which focuses on sharing best practice from the major regeneration schemes across London. The Diocese has worked in partnership over the past 12 months with Groundwork, the environmental regeneration charity, in assimilating data created by national, regional and local bodies to create a regeneration map covering the whole capital. The Church Urban Fund, Southwark and London Diocesan Housing Associations, the United Reformed Church and the Diocese of Southwark also sponsored the initiative. The map is available online for public use and represents a free resource for local authorities across London. A more detailed version will now be used to inform the strategic development priorities and investments for the Diocese of London going forward.
