Bridging the Rural Divide

The University of Nottingham (Computer Science and Geography), Swansea University (Computer Science), Ordnance Survey and the Countryside Council for Wales are partners, in a new and exciting research project that will examine the issues pertaining to the urban/rural technological divide. The project seeks to bridge the rural divide through the development of innovative mapping services, which will enhance a broad range of activities that sustain the rural economy – from walking and cycling to surfing and bird watching. Supported by the Research Councils UK (Digital Economy programme) and Horizon - Digital Economy Research.
