Pop Map is a collaboration between City ID, Calvium and Bristol City Council that connects people with the events and activities that occur in Bristol’s streets, spaces and venues. It responds to your location and preferences, revealing activity relevant to you in a time sensitive way.

Developed as part of the Digital Placemaking Pathfinder from Bristol + Bath Creative R+D this commission explores how promoting interaction between people and place, could lead to a greater sense of inclusion or belonging. Originally explored in Bristol the team are not determining the feasibility of enabling new forms of engagement with the city’s cultural life, and seeing where else the technology could be utilised.
