Case Study: National Trust advances digital placemaking and inclusive community engagement with Calvium

National Trust shapes 8 Hills Regional Park across 47 square miles with Calvium

The National Trust commissioned Calvium to undertake research on how to incorporate digital placemaking and inclusive community engagement into the strategy for its proposed 8 Hills Regional Park. The challenge was to understand the opportunities digital technologies present for enhancing visitor experiences and community involvement from the very start of this ambitious, multi-faceted project.

Calvium's solution was a comprehensive research report that addressed four key subjects: inclusive community engagement, enhanced visitor engagement, innovative digital placemaking, and novel 'payment-by-results' scenarios for landowners. The report provided practical approaches, a bespoke framework, and best-practice examples to inspire the National Trust's strategy. The results were well-received, with Calvium's insights and recommendations set to play a valuable part in shaping the park's approach to improving community health, protecting the landscape, and creating new income streams.
