Discover the hidden gems of our nation with the OS National Geographic Database (OS NGD) Land Theme! 🗺️ Whether it’s the intricate patterns of residential gardens or the rugged beauty of marshlands - this collection reveals the rich tapestry of land cover information: https://ow.ly/PA6H50SsO44 🌳
Ordnance Survey data can be used to tell stories at all scales. NGD Land data contains information about the physical surface of the land across Great Britain. I've taken a few fairly random subsets of the NGD Land data and combined some together according to my own arbitrary tastes; see comments for which classifications I'm using for "trees", "gardens", and "heath and scrub". By aggregating to 10km grid cells across Great Britain, we see that Scotland is home to a lot of our heath and scrub land, gardens are (obviously) clustered towards our urban centres, and trees are found surprisingly uniformly across the country. By aggregating to 1km grid cells within the ceremonial county of Hampshire, the New Forest stands out as the home of most of the county's heath and scrub and patches of woodlands stand out. By aggregating to 100m grid cells and focusing on the Southampton Built-Up Area, the structure of the city's neighbourhoods and parks stand out clearly. All analysis performed in Databricks with pyspark, and the visual was put together with matplotlib.

We're thrilled to share that Point One Navigation has become an #OSPartner and integrated OS Net into its own accurate positioning and ‘precise location as a service.’ The organisation believes location is an enabler for future applications - by making it ubiquitous, easy to integrate, and reliable. This is how OS has enabled Point One Navigation to make precision positioning available to GB enterprises: https://ow.ly/1wEV50SrARt

Happy 233rd birthday to us! 🥳 We've evolved a lot over the years, but we're still using location expertise to make an impact. From publishing our first map in 1801 – introducing digital mapping in 1971 - to recently launching the OS Emergency Services Gazetteer – the next chapter is only just beginning.

What initiatives are helping make your city greener? 💚 Quality of green space, air pollution, and amount of waste sent to be reused are just some measures of a greener city. #CleanAirDay is a reminder that initiatives such as EV charging points and e-bikes are already making an impact and contributing to reducing air pollution.
