Mapping Change for Sustainable Communities

Start a project

How to Start

Plenty of help is at hand!

A first step is to find out what else is already going on in your area of interest. Visit Projects under Resources for examples of classic and innovative projects in London. You can also search for London organisations who may be able to assist you.

Networking and visiting real-life projects will also be crucial when developing and running your project. London 21 Network Membership offers several tools for networking and keeping up-to-date.

Skill sharing is also the main aim of the London 21 monthly events. Please also send us any useful contacts or articles to be added to this section - and circulated in the e-newsletter.

Finally, explore the rest of this section with the toolbar above.
