Open plots · Grand ideas
Original public-interest concepts with enough shape to begin—and enough open space to become yours.
Public imagination · Grand
A living, neighbourhood-owned archive that turns council decisions, oral history, and street change into an explorable civic timeline.
Why it is grand
Cities forget in fragments. This makes institutional memory legible before the next irreversible decision.
Care infrastructure · Ambitious
A private coordination map for families and neighbours sharing the invisible work around illness, disability, and ageing.
Why it is grand
Care is a system, but most people are left to manage it through messages and memory.
Climate commons · Grand
A block-level simulation where neighbours test shade, trees, cooling rooms, transport, and water ideas before advocating for them.
Why it is grand
Climate planning becomes actionable when people can see their own street and compare trade-offs.
Learning network · Ambitious
A real-time map of what a community can teach, what it wants to learn, and where useful exchanges could happen this week.
Why it is grand
Communities hold enormous practical knowledge that conventional course platforms never reveal.
Circular economy · Grand
Give repaired objects a public biography: who made them, who fixed them, and what they taught the next owner.
Why it is grand
Repair becomes culture when objects carry stories instead of becoming anonymous waste.
Digital wellbeing · Experimental
A small social web that opens twice a day, favours thoughtful dispatches, and has no engagement counters.
Why it is grand
A network can be alive without demanding permanent attention.
