# Colouring Cities Core Platform
[![All Contributors](https://img.shields.io/badge/all_contributors-12-orange.svg?style=flat-square)](#contributors)
![Build status](https://github.com/colouring-london/colouring-london/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 London’s 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

#### Test the application:

You can try out the Colouring London 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.

## 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.
