What's next?
Civic Atlas isn't being built all at once. Each version answers a different kind of question.
🔎It started by helping people find organisations and get a picture of what civic activity was happening where in Birmingham.
📍Today it discovers insights by looking across organisations that might appear to have little in common.
🧠Future versions will turn these insights into evidence-led investigation to support the wider civic intelligence community.
