Why Map Communities?
Sharing Local Knowledge
Mapping is a powerful tool for communities to
represent themselves and identify what matters
to them.
The OPEN Glasgow Community Map is an
interactive tool to share local knowledge on
anything that is of importance to the community
for example; community centres, activities, sports.
Sharing what we know openly on a map allows
others to access services in their local area more
easily.
Sharing this information openly with others allows
everyone to search and access services across
Glasgow.

F.A.Q
What is OPEN Glasgow?
OPEN Glasgow places people at the heart of the approach, empowering everyone. The aim
is to demonstrate how to make life in the city smarter, safer and more sustainable through
technology. OPEN Glasgow encourages citizens to explore and rediscover their city through
the vast amounts of information it generates every day. It’s a gateway that opens up a wide
range of information about Glasgow, making them quickly and easily accessible.
Click here for more information.
What is the OPEN Glasgow Community Map?
The OPEN Glasgow community map is about using and sharing Glaswegians’ local
knowledge of their community, for example; community centres, activities or sports. This will
make it easier for everyone to access services in their local area.
Why does community mapping need to involve citizens?
The OPEN Glasgow community map has been created using Glaswegians’ local knowledge
and is available for everyone to use. People can focus on what is important to their
community and keep the information up to date. This includes information about clubs,
activities, and places of interest. For example, if you notice a new service in your local area,
you have the power to add this knowledge to the map so that others can use this service as
well.
Where does the content come from?
It comes from citizens like you, communities and organisations who share their local
knowledge of the city. The map of services is made by the community, and for the
community to benefit from.
What are the benefits of participating?
Participating in the OPEN Glasgow Community Map and sharing local knowledge empowers
communities across the city. As the map is made by citizens of Glasgow, the services are upto-date. Everyone has a chance to contribute to the mapping of their local community so that
others can access and benefit from the services available.
How do you participate?
To add services to this map you will need to register first. Once registered you will be ready
to add a service, which can be found on the menu bar. More information about contributing
to the community map can be found in the user manual and video tutorial.
I just added a service, but I am unable to see this on the map?
New services need to be reviewed by the website moderator before being viewed on the
map. You will receive an email notification once approved and available to view on the map.
What if I identify wrong or missing information on the map? For example incorrect opening
hours or addresses?
Please contact us explaining the issue, highlighting all the missing/wrong information. We’ll
look into the issue and fix it as soon as possible.
What if I cannot remember my login details?
If you have forgotten your login details, please click here. Enter your email address and you
will receive a new password by email.
Do you have more questions?
If you have any other question about the community map, please let us know by using the
contact us form. We’ll get back to you as soon as possible.
