London is a city of neighbourhoods. It’s time they had the power to prove it.
We believe working across communities, business, finance, local government, youth networks and data partners will unlock the systemic shifts London needs.
We've set our ambitions through three Earthshots - declarations of intent to solve complex social and ecological challenges in London.
Enabling the Earthshots are six Coalition Hubs which are unlocked through LDEC projects and activities.
Together, they form a practical roadmap; pathways to a safe and just future for a city where people and planet can thrive.
Our three Earthshots are driven by data from the City Portrait - telling us where tackling three root issues in London would make the largest difference.
Our six Coalition Hubs create the enabling conditions through projects and initiatives.
With funding from Impact on Urban Health, we worked with community organisations in Old Kent Road and Brixton to explore what Doughnut Econoimcs could mean at a community level.
Two Neighbourhood Portraits emerged, as well as connections, relationships and the start of the Brixton Commons and Old Kent Road working group (exploring how a Commons could work there).
