# Colouring London
[![All Contributors](https://img.shields.io/badge/all_contributors-12-orange.svg?style=flat-square)](#contributors)
![Build status](https://github.com/colouring-cities/colouring-core/workflows/Node.js%20CI/badge.svg)

How many buildings are there in a city? What are their characteristics? Where
are they located and how do they contribute to the city? How adaptable are
they? How long will they last, and what are the environmental and
socio-economic implications of demolition?

Colouring Cities is a web-based citizen social
science project designed to help address these questions by crowdsourcing and
visualising twelve categories of information on the buildings in our cities.

## Structure

This repository will contain open-source code for the project which:

- stores building footprint polygons and source metadata
- allows site users to record building attribute data
- serves map tiles rendered from collected data
- allows site visitors to download the collected building attribute data

Building attribute data collected as part of the project will be made available
for download under a liberal open data license
([ODbL](https://opendatacommons.org/licenses/odbl/1.0/)).

## Setup and run

#### Forking the Core Repository
If you are working with us as part of this GitHub organisation, then a repository and team may already have been set up for you. If you are already usign the repository and want to add a new project, perhaps because you are expanding to additional cities, then please following these instructions to create a Fork of the core repository: [docs/working-with-colouring-core](docs/working-with-colouring-core.md).

#### Customise the Application:

You can customise the Colouring Cities application by changing the values in the following file:

`app/src/cc-config.json`

For more information on the config system, see [docs/configuring-colouring-cities](docs/configuring-colouring-cities.md).

#### Test the application:

You can try out the Colouring Cities application by setting up your own development environment, which includes the option to load test data from OpenStreetMaps (OSM). See [docs/setup-dev-environment](docs/setup-dev-environment.md).
  
_Last updated March 2022_

#### Create a production version of the application:

We also have documentation on setting up a production environment here: [docs/setup-production-environment](docs/setup-production-environment.md).
  
_Last updated December 2021_

**Note:** There are additional useful documentation within the `/docs` folder.

#### Troubleshooting
If you are having problems with the application, first look here: [docs/troubleshooting](docs/troubleshooting.md) to see if there is a solution for your problem.
(Also, please consider updating this document if you encounter and problems and manage to solve them!)
