Green Gathering and we had a lot of interest in OpenStreetMap both from
potential users of data and also from potential mappers; as with all these
things one doesn’t know which contacts are going to lead anywhere and
which ones are not but I am sure some are going to be productive. There was
general understanding of the value and need for such a service.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

w:st="on">Birkbeck</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceType w:st="on">College</st1:PlaceType>,
about mapping historical the changing uses (and possibly shapes) of buildings
in <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">London</st1:place></st1:City> over
time, so one can see how the Victorian bakery ended up as a Starbucks! She has
students doing ‘London Studies’ that involve getting to know an
area of <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">London</st1:place></st1:City>,
and researching how it functions and how it has developed. Course details here:
<a href="http://www.bbk.ac.uk/study/pg/londonstudies/TMALOSTD.html">http://www.bbk.ac.uk/study/pg/londonstudies/TMALOSTD.html</a>.
Btw, if anyone wants to find out information about the historic uses of
buildings in the UK in Victorian times then ‘Kelly’s directories’
will often provide the answer is available in local libraries. <a
