A day in the life of XX borough... Where people go at different points of day Who goes where? Profile by individual/geo-demographics Who never leaves? What media do they look at, generally and about local issues? Can you trigger interaction when residents go to particular places/do particular things? Can this be linked to other data?
In conclusion... There is definitely a crisis of trust in political institutions… …not really affecting local government – yet Most haven’t noticed cuts yet – a real credit to public services and councils But fearful about the future for services, and for themselves Criticism of local government not working for central government – but opinions likely to shift more as people notice change Need to understand your whole population, generational differences increasingly important... Huge opportunities from technology to understand behaviours and interact more Good luck...
