Mapping One Public Estate
CLIENT: SOUTH YORKSHIRE MAYORAL COMBINED AUTHORITY | TYPE OF WORK: CONSULTANCY | SECTOR: HEALTH
One Public Estate is a programme supporting locally-led partnerships of public sector bodies to collaborate around their public service delivery strategies and estates needs, helping partners to repurpose surplus public estate in a way that utilises it best. To fully understand the public estate available in a region, you need to have all the data available, and an easy and comprehensive way to present and analyse it.
Our data mapping and analysis company Parallel are the providers of SHAPE, an online, interactive tool that supports service planning and estates strategy development. Supported by the Department of Health and Social Care, SHAPE facilitates scenario planning and option appraisals in support of public services. The information SHAPE holds makes it perfect for planning and coordinating One Public Estate projects.
levelling up agenda
South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority (SYMCA) wanted to identify a pipeline of schemes to tackle inequalities in health, housing, education and regeneration.
Parallel’s SHAPE team were asked to map existing schemes and pipeline developments for the region, alongside the area’s greatest needs, utilising population and demographic information. This data was cross referenced with SYMCA’s own data, and used to identify the priorities of the Strategic Economic Plan (SEP). This data focused on skills, employment, housing and gross value added (GVA) productivity.
“Using SHAPE meant that not only did we have a great way to see all the data, but then we were also able to easily visualise key maps for use in evidencing our plans in projects and reports.”
