-====== The Networked City exploration ======+#Commonspace
  
-Networked City is an exploration into the role of network thinking and digital technology in reframing London's civil society and supporting social action. +Our home page is [here](start)
- +
-It was started by David Wilcox and Drew Mackie on behalf of the London Voluntary Service Council, and is now being led by Matt Scott with David and Drew and a group formed following a launch event on January 10 2017. +
- +
-The exploration aims to: +
- +
-* complement and support [The Way Ahead initiative](http://thewayahead.london) on London's civil society launched by London Funders, LVSVC and Greater London Volunteering.  +
-* contribute ideas to the [City Hall strategy for civil society](http://www.connectinglondoners.blog/2017/-city-hall-is-commissioning-work-to-develop-a-london) +
-* support London community groups and networks that are exploring ways to collaborate [under the banner of Our Way Ahead](http://www.connectinglondoners.blog/content/all/?q=%23ourwayahead). +
- +
-Networked City led to development of a group of projects committed to Connecting Londoners. +
- +
-## Connecting Londoners +
- +
-We are developing Connecting Londoners as an initiative for anyone interested in how people, projects and organisations can cooperate and collaborate better for social good.  +
- +
-We are exploring three linked challenges as services and funding are cut, and the ways that people communicate are changing rapidly: +
- +
-* how will Londoners in future find out where to get help for themselves or their families in times of need; find local activities that interest them; share or sell items or services; find opportunities to volunteer; campaign for or against change in their community … and organise projects?  +
-* how can individuals, groups and organisations make use of the Internet - together with other methods - to cooperate and collaborate more effectively? +
-* how can we ensure that those most in need, and most vulnerable, are not excluded by these changes? +
- +
-This wiki contains background material on Networked City, and an archive of posts from our [[http://www.networkedcity.blog|Networked City blog]] +
