The Local Futures Group provides a geographical perspective on social and environmental change. We have worked with local authorities and regional/local organizations for over a decade, helping them to understand their places and working with them to develop long term visions for the future. Working with policymakers from a range of disciplines, we have developed a unique approach to analysing places. We have developed innovative ways of visualizing data, bringing it to life and telling a 'story of place'. We can help you in many ways. In addition to our unrivalled webtool Local Knowledge, we also provide research and strategy support.
