Almost a fifth of Aberdeen's Union Street was empty at the start of this month. But who owns those vacant units and what is being done to fill them? We decided to find out🔎 #dataviz #ddj #datajournalism

An outstanding piece of journalism - and one which will hopefully drive faster change to further revitalise #Aberdeen - spot on Ema Sabljak The Press and Journal 👍

This is excellent work: pressandjournal.co.uk/fp/news/655228… I wonder how many councils have this level of information about property ownership in their main thoroughfares - not many I reckon. I'd love to see all the information on saa.gov.uk on interactive maps

What did we find in our investigation into the owners of all the empty units on Union Street in Aberdeen? We looked at owner registered addresses, the type of owners and the nature of the businesses that own the vacant spaces. But we also asked what is happening with them 1/ #ddj

What a week! The topics in this week's Data Vis Dispatch range from discrimination in schools to flammable cladding, from subway accessibility to carbonated drinks. Check out all the week’s best charts and maps here: blog.datawrapper.de/data-vis-dispa…

We always aim to make data that impacts our readers daily lives more accessible. That is one of the reasons we are mildly obsessed with trackers and Emma Morrice has just expanded our efforts to track health services with an ambulance waiting times monitor. #dataviz #ddj
