About Me - David Caldwell
I'm David Caldwell, the founder and driving force behind Streetlist.co.uk. With a rich career spanning over two decades in local government, web development, and geographic information systems (GIS), I've dedicated my professional life to understanding and improving the ways we interact with our local geography.
My expertise is in address data and I am an advocate for the UPRN (unique property reference number) which when done correctly links public sector information with spatial data.
One of my longest lived passions is map making and cartography. The map is an underated medium for story telling.
My expertise is analysing large spatial datasets and producing insights into land and property.
In my career I have been involved with street naming and numbering and am an advocate for best practices such as BS7666. Knowledgeable in local government legislation such as the Town Improvement Act Clause 1847 and the Public Health Act 1925 I understand that correct addressing not only helps the provision of post and deliveries it also vital for emergency services to find those seeking help.
My Journey:
My journey began with a deep interest in the intersection of technology and geography. After earning a Diploma in Computer Science and a Certificate in Information Technology and Computing from The Open University, I embarked on a career that took me through various roles in local government. Here, I honed my skills in spatial data analysis, land charges management, and public service innovation.
