The app allows the user to explore and contribute content to a multilayered digital map of Bristol that is populated with crowdsourced content. The aim is that through the app and its companion website (http://www.mapyourbristol.org.uk/) people can explore, research and co-create Bristol’s history, heritage and culture. The app was created for the Know Your Bristol project, which is a collaboration between the University of Bristol, Bristol City Council and several Bristol community groups.
