Northern Exposure: The final chapter in an epic mapping adventure

Published: April 30, 2019, 2:27 p.m.

On this week’s Tech Talk Radio, Emily Wright is joined by EG’s new tech reporter Lucy Alderson who makes her TTR debut with the last episode of the geospatial mapping podcast trilogy.

She spoke to Chris Pope, spatial data analytics manager for Greater Manchester Combined Authority who was tasked with creating and developing MappingGM, an online resource that maps the social and physical infrastructure across the Greater Manchester region.

Tune in to listen to Pope talk about the challenges of setting up MappingGM, the need for more residential data across the region, and how the Manchester property scene and beyond has responded to the resource.

 All this and an (even) funkier tech talk jingle on this week’s episode.
