Creating social value through working cooperatively

High streets, market squares & waterfronts

People are more aspirational, optimistic and socially liberal

Lambeth

UK

People want to collaborate and connect with others to develop their wellbeing

People want to take part in & shape cultural experiences where they can consume & share

Identities will be more influenced by the different cultures & situations people are exposed to throughout their life

Services and activities will be increasingly personalised to and shaped by people, supported by ecosystems of entrepreneurs

People will be increasingly drawn into pooling their resources with people like them, to save money and belong to a community

Ability to use technology and increase in people moving around to work & live will affect how they can look after themselves & each other

Neighbourhoods will increasingly be dominated by specific demographics and cultural trends

People want products & services that help them navigate their work & social life

Change in family, friendship and work structures will affect where & how people spend their free time

Digital and collaborative services will shape how people work and socialise and who they do it with

Increase in self employment and people with multiple care responsibilities will blur boundaries between work & leisure

Consumer & leisure activities will increasingly be provided “on demand” either online, in public spaces or people’s homes

Neighbourhood activities – be they run by brands or communities - will increasingly target specific demographics

Our creative collaborative culture attracts people to live, work & spend in the area
