The regeneration and modernisation of Ipswich waterfront has been encouraged since 2002. A £250 million facelift has subsequently targeted derelict and redundant industrial buildings.

Our pre-fieldwork introduction highlights the identity of the area before regeneration and enables a clear comparison bewteen the before and after.

Fieldwork is conducted at 6 sites, including in 1 area where no regeneration is apparent. Students use modern formats of data collection to enable geospatial presentation of data on ArcGIS once back at school.

The course is complimented by supporting secondary information and a step-by-step basics guide to using ArcGIS.
