London 21 is a network of over 1500 local groups promoting sustainability in London. They have pioneered interactive online maps like GreenMap to map environmental issues. Their community mapping programs engage communities to identify local issues and priorities. The mapping process involves discussing initial priorities with communities, evidence gathering, and displaying maps online and in websites. It is used to find facts, bring new issues, communicate with stakeholders, and plan actions to improve local environments.
