The London Colouring Book

Product Information

If you want to edit data y ou just need to be over 13 to sign up or, if you're younger, to have a parent or guardian do this for you. (We're working on a teacher sign up for schools). Every entry is valuable to us, however we are looking for data that's as accurate as possible. Our easiest category to add to is the 'Community' section' which includes questions on how well you think different types of building work. We've included this both to capture information on building quality and performance, and to encourage residents and schools to join in. Colouring books for kids have been around for years. But fairly recently, it's taken off for adults too - the appeal is a combination of creativity and the dedicated focus which is great for mindfulness and mental health. The United Nations New Urban Agenda , signed up to by 167 countries, to advance sustainability development goals for cities and their communities Individual colouring of buildings using copy and paste tools, (though bulk uploads can be submitted to CASA for moderation) to prevent large areas being highlighted and changed .

Yes and we encourage it. Any city can use our open platform code available on GitHub as long as they follow the terms of use. In the Uk we have been testing the prototype for London first to provide proof of concept and identify any initial problems. Our plan is then to then work with Ordnance Survey demo how the open code allows for a simple scaling-up to cover Britain as a whole. OSMM building footprints are contained within the OS MasterMap Topography Layer product, overseen by the UK's department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) and managed by Ordnance Survey, the UK’s national mapping agency . These also provide information on spatial location, building geometry, floor area, perimeter and number and size and shape of walls, and can assist in the inference of other characteristics, such as age, height and 3D form. Extrusions from footprints can also be used to generate simple 3D models. We we also be testing the live streaming of planning data to create a visual traffic light systems. The aim is to provide a real time visual overview of change occurring in the city, and to help citizens, local authorities and developers communicate better in relation to the long-term benefits, socio-cultural, environmental

The second approach tested is crowdsourcing, as used by other open knowledge platforms such as OpenStreetMap and Wikipedia. This requires interface features to be designed with different audiences to facilitate expert input from citizens, who actually use buildings and know how well they work for users, to experts researching into, designing, building, monitoring, protecting and managing them. The platform also tests new types of feature including the Dynamics tool used facilitate transformation of historical information, by historians, into spatial statistics for use by scientists in forecasting models, evolution animations and planning simulations. Colouring London, and the Colouring Cities Research Programme (CCRP) , are research-led initiatives managed by The A lan Turing Institute (ATI) , the UK's national institute for data science and artificial intelligence, which is based in the British Library, London. Also, who wears their crown? Is there a specific King or Queen from history they have in mind? Or have they made up a character to wear it? What is the person King or Queen of? How big is their realm? Are they a good ruler? They should bear these ideas in mind as they colour in their crown and add any adornments.

It is made out of gold, silver and platinum and decorated with 2,868 diamonds, 273 pearls, 17 sapphires, 11 emeralds and 5 rubies. Colour is a core feature of Colouring London. It is used to stimulate curiosity, as a thank you to users, and to encourage people to add data to reveal urban patterns never seen before. It is also used to create a relaxing and rewarding experience for data contributors. Our work on colour palettes is at an early stage and we are currently looking at ways to design features of enabling more engagement from artists and designers. Updating data to increase accuracy is another important but complex issue. This relies on access to Ordnance building footprint updates each year. This is most relevant to data relating to, for example, land use and planning status, where change is relatively frequent in contrast say to building age, which will only require updating until the building is demolished or a major extension added.This has created an urgent demand from scientists for more detailed data on the characteristics of buildings for analysis, monitoring, and for simulations and forecasting models. Though large-scale building attribute datasets are being released in some countries (e.g. property tax datasets), in the UK, attribute data remain remain heavily restricted even for academic research. The Society’s education team hasworkedin partnership with the Colouring London team at The Bartlett Centre for Advanced Spatial Analysis, University College London, Historic England and the RIBA, to develop a series of resources for teachers showing how to incorporate Colouring London into the curriculum: Colouring London is a free knowledge exchange platform designed to provide over fifty types of open data on buildings in the city, to help make the city more sustainable. Using fieldwork to observe, measure, record and present the human features in the local area using plans and digital technologies. Really young children can use them to learn about colours, how to stay inside the lines and how to combine certain shades. Colouring also improves their vision and fine motor skills that is directly linked to early writing skills. It’s a great creative exercise for coordination and concentration, not to mention how exciting it is to create something from almost scratch. Getting a sense of accomplishment helps kids develop healthy self-esteem from an early age.
