AGI GeoCom Housing Roundtable

Unlocking opportunities for geospatial technology within the housing community

AGI GeoCom Housing Roundtable

The AGI recently convened a group of invited participants including stakeholders from government, industry, registered housing providers, and regulators, to come together to discuss key themes aimed at unlocking opportunities for geospatial technology within the housing community.

This discussion was co-hosted alongside the AGI’s annual conference and flagship event GeoCom, and was chaired by Alexandra Notay, of Radix Big Tent Housing Commission, and an Independent Commissioner at the Geospatial Commission.

During the discussions a number of key questions were posed, including:

  • What is geospatial and how well is it understood in the wider housing sector?
  • What can the geospatial sector bring to the housing community
  • How can a place-based approach support the current, and ongoing needs of the housing sector, and how can this help to improve quality of life for residents?
  • How can we breakdown data and knowledge silos and what is the role of technology in operations?
  • How do we keep people at the heart of everything we do?

Key outcomes and actions from the discussions were agreed and it was hoped that connections had been made and conversations would continue to connect the dots and articulate the opportunities and challenges of geo within the housing sector.
