| Organisation | Liverpool City Region Combined Authority |
| Country | United Kingdom |
| Sector | Public |
| PI Contribution | Stakeholder Engagement with LCRCA as part of user requirements for designing digital tools for sustainable land-use planning and brownfield redevelopment. - Interviews/semi-structured discussions to establish user personas, goals, and challenges with digital land-use planning and brownfields. Stakeholder Consultation workshop to identify links between land-use planning and GIS-MCDA methods/data sources - Comprehensive user testing of resulting digital tools to determine usability, and suitability for their operations - Ongoing application of the digital tool for use as part of an evidence base for land-use planning and policy decisions within the combined authority |
| Collaborator Contribution | Supervisors and CASE partners involved in the collaboration |
| Impact | Outcomes - Supported the development of PhD project outputs, and also influenced the way LCRCA think about using spatial data, and digital tools in to operations, to supplement/support decision-making. |
