# Colouring London
|
||
[](#contributors)
|
||
|
||
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 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
|
||
|
||
1. Provision database (see `migrations`)
|
||
1. Fill out details in `config.json` (see `config.template.json`)
|
||
1. Load buildings and geometries to database (see `etl`)
|
||
1. Install app dependencies: `cd app && npm i`
|
||
1. Run tests: `npm test`
|
||
1. Run app: `npm start`
