The classification of places and people has become an increasingly popular activity from the perspective of those seeking to understand the nature of spatial and social inequality and for those aiming to target consumers. National
spatial classifications have been developed by both public and private sector teams and this workshop aims to provide some guidance on how to build national spatial classifications, what data sets and statistical methods are
needed, what obstacles are encountered, how robust are the classifications that are produced and what are they used for. The workshop also considers the issue of social classifications and their harmonisation.
This workshop is free to attend and aimed at those working or studying in UK higher or further education institutions.
