The AGI Housing Network launched successfully in 2025, hosting its highly successful inaugural event at RICS Birmingham. This flagship gathering convened housing professionals and GIS Practitioners, fostering knowledge exchange on geospatial applications in asset management, planning, and developing the strategy for reaching government targets of 1.5m new homes. The event established strong momentum, demonstrating the sector’s appetite for geospatial innovation and building a committed practitioner network.
A core team is shaping the Network’s 2026 purpose and strategy, targeting both geospatial and non-geospatial professionals. The aim is to show the value of geospatial tools, demonstrate the ROI in location technologies, and grow wider support for their use in housing sector for planning, operations, and innovation. The plan is to align with AGI foresight report themes to enable parallel discussions across networks.
