The government is increasingly looking to more flexible geographies in order to shape and define policy and it will be vital for local policymakers to get to grips with these new geographies and the benefits that they can provide. Particularly in light of the recent statutory city-regions of Leeds and Manchester, as well as other more local initiatives.
How can we help you?
Experian’s defining functional geographies service can support clients in defining more useful geographies. Drawing upon our extensive knowledge of data sources combined with proprietary data, such as Experian’s Mosaic Public Sector, enables us to identify a wide range of functional geographies, built up from post-code level data. These include:
- Travel To Work Areas
- Travel to Shop and Leisure Areas
- Travel To Healthcare Areas
- Travel to Study Areas
- Trade Linkages
The functional geographies developed are grounded in a robust evidence base and our policy-focused approach with regular stakeholder engagement will support the development of a common set of priorities for the newly identified areas.
