-====== ​The Networked City exploration ​======+====== Networked City and Connecting Londoners ​======
  
-[[https://​www.networkedcity.london/​start|Our latest material ​is here]] +Our home page is [here](https://www.networkedcity.london/start)
- +
-Networked City is an exploration into the role of network thinking and digital technology in reframing London'​s civil society and supporting social action. +
- +
-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]] +
