How many buildings are there in London? 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 London](http://colouring.london/) is a web-based citizen social
science project designed to help address these questions by crowdsourcing and
visualising twelve categories of information on Londonβs buildings.
## 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
1. Provision database (see [migrations](migrations/README.md))
1. Load buildings and geometries to database (see [etl](etl/README.md))
1. Install app dependencies: `cd app && npm i`
1. Run tests: `npm test`
1. Run app: `npm start`
In development, run with environment variables:
```bash
APP_COOKIE_SECRET=test_secret \
PGHOST=localhost \
PGUSER=dbuser \
PGDATABASE=dbname \
PGPASSWORD=dbpassword \
PGPORT=5432 \
TILECACHE_PATH=/path/to/tilecache/directory \
npm start
```
[Provision script](provision/vm_provision.sh) can be also of interest.
## Acknowledgements
Colouring London was set up at the Centre for Advanced Spatial
Analysis (CASA), University College London and is now based at The Alan Turing Institute.
Ordnance Survey is providing building footprints required to collect the data,
facilitated by the Greater London Authority (GLA), and giving access to its API
and technical support.
