‘Any community engagement programme must have a long-term plan, with the capacity, scope and
resources to support a wide-range of groups for as long as is necessary to build their confidence and
enthusiasm.
Over the relatively short course of this project, we have witnessed first-hand how mapping has the
potential to widen the reach of community groups, improve an individual’s digital literacy and technical
confidence and create a unique body of lived knowledge which is open to all. It would be of benefit to the citizens of Glasgow to maintain the interest and enthusiasm for mapping which this project has begun
to generate.’ Observations from Future Maps final report by Future City Glasgow & Pidgin Perfect
