The Royal Town Planning Institute (RTPI), in conjunction with software specialists Idox, have launched a pilot website for the Map for England which will be live until 31 December 2012. The RTPI commissioned a study as part of their Map for England campaign which showed that there are many benefits to joining up different sources of policy information, which would help to coordinate infrastructure planning and help to boost growth, whilst being more transparent and saving time and money to many organisations and local communities. The Map for England aims to help organisations visualise the impact of some of the existing policies and programmes. The RTPI would welcome feedback on this resource.
