Regeneration Time Warp

Submitted by: Lucy F

Describe your idea. How does it work and who does it help?

Layers of public spending data are put against time. As well as a zoom scale to produce a more detailed map, the regeneration time warp will enable the user to travel back to see how their communities have grown over time and benefited from public spending and investment in development. Local councils will be accountable to their communities, who will have an easy and clear way to see what is spent around them.

This data is already available, but incomprehensible to the general public. With a visual representation, those with little financial expertise can understand their region.

Citizens are more satisfied with public service provision if there is more transparency and ownership. By providing an accessible way to present data, citizens will be encouraged to be more engaged in public services.
