Colouring Cities Core Platform

All Contributors Build status

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).

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 using 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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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!)
