Delighted to be working with @TheNationalHP. Really looking forward to the change we’ll deliver together.

The timing of the election might cause problems for some, esp students coming to the end of term or those who have holidays booked (whoever they intend to vote for). The solution is to apply for a postal vote. Here’s the link to do so. Please share.

This is the start of us open sourcing and sharing all of the work over the last 18 months, as we pivot out of re-founding, focus on deep demonstration, and reignite a part of the work that had to pause during COVID-19, the ambitious co-building of the Neighbourhood Public Square.
Focusing on the capabilities, capacities, re imagination and physical infrastructures required for neighbourhoods and the communities within them are at forefront and co-leading the climate, social, economic and ecological transitions ahead. It’s a sobering piece to work on, and it’s important not to treat it as an endorsement of these futures, instead an honest look at where we are, and the scale of work we need collective invest in and discover together.
Thank you to all the incredible collaborators, but particularly in this chapter @DarkMatter_Labs, @Jack_Minchella, Emma Pfeiffer + a gorgeous design / illustration / narrative crew led by @byngtown.
3ºC Neighbourhood is a new piece of research co-authored by @CIVIC_SQUARE @DarkMatter_Labs on the risks UK urban neighbourhoods face due to climate + ecological breakdown under a high emissions scenario, likely resulting in +3ºC average global temperature. bit.ly/Neighbourhood3
