2/2 A lady, who had just had a Retrofit Assessment on her home said:

"There are two hundred houses in my street, all exactly the same construction. Why aren’t we sharing a generic version of this plan with all of them?"

[Chimni Communities @ChimniCommunity]

We have a growing belief at Chimni that, for most non-social homeowners, the route to Retrofit will be via community projects and shared experiences. (image the @TheIET) #AllforRetrofit #Retrofit

[Chimni Communities @ChimniCommunity]

We are conducting consumer research into #Retrofit expectations among Chimni users (as part of testing our Whole Home Plan) and it flagged up an interesting community aspect to how this is rolled out. 1/ 2

@ChimniCommunity @VUCITY_ @Stef_W @clockworkdog @thomasforth @prospectiveio @UrbanIntelUK @LandTechUK @Cmnplace We're aware of lots of different applications of #plantech and #civictech to #neighbourhoodplanning and convened an event bringing together some of the best (https://t.co/lUWTzIzlwh) - relevant to evidence base, engagement, mapping and more

@VUCITY_ @Stef_W @clockworkdog @thomasforth @prospectiveio @UrbanIntelUK @LandTechUK @Cmnplace We’ve been looking at how to use #plantech and #Proptech to support #NeighbourhoodPlanning but we guess that’s one level down from ‘Local Plans’. @NPlannersLondon thoughts?

[Chimni Communities @ChimniCommunity]

This is exciting! A new Chimni Community project starting. A ‘Streets & Houses’ #HouseHistory project. All participants get a Chimni Log with their digital house history.

[Strand on the Green 'Streets & Houses' @SOTG_SandH]

It all starts with a map. Strand on the Green on the 1745 John Rocque map entitled "An Exact Survey of the citys of London Westminster ye Borough of Southwark and the Country near ten miles round".

Today's #BuildingBetterBuildingBeautiful report backs #neighbourhoodplanning - "The right approach in towns and cities is likely to involve more powers at the city mayor level, whilst maintaining an important role for boroughs and a growing role for neighbourhood forums" #BBBBC

This is worth a read!

Our #Housing and #Neighbourhoods research is concerned with housing and residential environments: where people choose to live, the housing they can access, and the qualities of their neighbourhoods. Find out more: https://t.co/Vph0VNm7cZ #urbandata #bigdata
