COLOURING
LONDON
What kinds of buildings make up London? What are their size and shape? How are they made and what of? Who built them and which are the most energy efficient? Where can you find different types? And which do you like, and think contributes to the success and well-being of the city.
We are collecting twelve types of data to help us answer these and many other questions about London. Click on any box to find out more.

SUBCATEGORIES
Construction
Street Context
Planning
We are gradually releasing subcategories for testing. If you'd like to help us by adding data, just go to Edit Maps, click on a building, choose any category of interest and fill in any information you can. Every entry and/or verification helps. Some categories are easier to fill than others. Like me? is our easiest. Here all you have to do is tell us if you think the building contributes to the city.
The 50 or so subcategories within our 12 main categories are shown below. We're trying to keep collection as efficient and simple as possible. Categories are not set in stone and the project is still at an early stage. Over time, where there is general consensus that a category or subcategory should be adjusted or added, relevant changes can be made. You can add your suggestions to our discussion threads here.
