Radburn, R., Beecham, R., Dykes, J. , Wood, J. & Slingsby, A. (2010). Discovery exhibition: using spatial treemaps in local authority decision making and reporting.

Abstract
At Leicestershire County Council we are using spatial treemaps to analyse labour markets and commuting behaviour. This novel visualization technique, presented at InfoVis 2008, has resulted in a number of insights and discoveries. Transport planners in our organization indicate that the graphics are effective and have advantages over alternatives. As researchers in the local authority we report upon using these graphics to inform decision makers and residents in the county’s evidence base for sustainable transport planning.
