DUMMY CITY
NEIGHBORHOOD PLANNING IN LONDON
Guang Yang, Siqi Sun, Jiangcheng Sun, Hantang Li
This Booklet will focus on the context of London, using “Neighborhood Planning is a Dummy” as an argument, using the overall development of neighborhood planning in England, the particularity of London, interviews and report data as evidence to analyze and discuss the deep inequities faced by neighborhood planning.
Our goal is to be able to present and refl ect on the story behind neighborhood planning, while summarizing, collecting and generating tools and strategies that can effectively help with different goals and problems.
We present a community engagement proposal which focuses primarily on the need to inform people about the rules and regulations of the UK planning framework, with secondary attention to site-specifi city and local context.
We developed tools, e.g. our game “Dummy City” and “Neighborhood Planning Encyclopedia”, that can help people to navigate the complexity of the legislation. These tools try to bridge the gap from layman language to complex legislative jargon in a series of layers, each one the more accessible and engaging.
THE DESIRED OBJECTIVES
The goal is to focus on the future of communities that can help the weak and small with different underlying attributes and to continue to develop indigenous bottom-up communities effi ciently and freely. Time, funding technology and community engagement related issues are the most direct and effective help. We have gradually summarized the following main tasks:
Objective 1. How to convert professional and complex planning information into a simple and easy-to-understand form for nonprofessional auditors in NF through a certain platform or facility, so that they can be more autonomous without the frequent help of LPA officials review these data.
Objective 2. How to convert the simple results of discussions between NF and the masses into professional and complex planning information through a certain platform or facility to LPA’s technical support staff, so that they can have more confi dence that the community can produce effective and correct planning solutions.
Objective 3. How to use a certain platform so that the final generated NP can be converted into a version that is easier to understand, so that people who participate in voting can truly understand the future of the community, and at the same time allow more people to participate.
Objective 4. How to reduce the information gap between community residents with different majors, different sources, different education levels and other factors by some means, so that more people can fully and suggestively understand the power they have, and at the same time obtain Wanted information about NP.
Objective 5. How to attract those special groups that are important in the community but generally diffi cult to cooperate with through a certain software or platform to better communicate with NF
Objective 6, How to let more people understand and participate in neighborhood planning, further expose and expose the inequalities in the development of existing planning, so that people can consciously understand the gaps between small and weak individuals and regions.
Objective 7, How to modify and strengthen the existing neighborhood planning organizational structure from the institutional framework and find a new sustainable development structure.

Educational
Among all the knowledge collected and organized on “local development planning,” we have selected three types of knowledge that “ordinary” community residents need to frame in the introductory stage： 1. basic urban knowledge; 2. development-related knowledge; 3. planning policies and tools.
This knowledge is simplified and integrated into our game board, skill cards, and game rules.
Recreational
To add interest, we have selected and com bined various systems from different games, including:
Physical Game
1v1
Two players meet in a grid of urban plots of different uses. The objective is to re-develop as many plots as possible for your camp.
A single development is successful if you arrive at the end of the process having accumulated enough “effort points”. You can take actions by spend ing your budget consolidating your developments, investing in new areas or undermining your opponent’s strategy by “buying away” their “effort points”.
Spread too thinly and you risk systemic failure….. Focus too much and you will be surrounded….

THE ULTIMATE FORM OF COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
For most non-professionals, the “Neighborhood Planning Encyclopedia” we produced may still be a little technical and difficult to enjoy the process of participation. Hence, after several iterations of testing (find out more in Chapter 6), with an easier and more fun approach to neighborhood planning for more age groups and backgrounds, we’ve developed a board game similar to Cold War, Plague Inc., Power Grid and Monopoly that can help you grab the real context.

PROGRESS IN GAME
Application Progress
Real people in real communities need help with money and time: to save time in the application process or to have more money to move forward with development.
So our skills work around the elements of “money” and “time,” matching real-world policies and tools into the game.
We have categorized the real-life tools and policies that helpfully help community development and presented them in the table below. The skills in the game correspond precisely to the names of policies and tools in real life, allowing players to use the skills and get more information about how to develop the community.
DEVELOPER
The effects of developer skills all correspond to realistic development (behaviors) consequences that developers may have and the impact that behaviors have on communities. Players can learn from them which actions of real developers affect the community and make more rational community development decisions
When the game skill card corresponds to the impact real developers bring to the community, it is divided by the type of impact.
EXPERT HELP
Technical support from any professional organization is very important for neighborhood planning, so the more technical support, the faster the progress of local neighborhood planning
By using Meanwhile Use on commercial community land, it can help build better community services and common interests and create community value. At the same time, it can also alleviate the frequent development of vacant spaces within the community by developers.
This is just a good wish, if every LPA and Bourough Council can spare no effort to help the community build neighborhood planning, then people can really achieve democratic bottom-up development, but the reality is that they will only leave the responsibility and task to the masses
A simple and effective neighborhood plan can already provide a certain degree of protection for the future of the community. However, please pursue the most complete and comprehensive neighborhood plan. The developers have useful and rich experience to bypass most restrictions. Please be patient and improve your plan.

FIRST LAYER FOR SIMPLIFYING COMPLEX LEGISLATION
Therefore, to alleviate these situations, we defi ned the most important objectives, which is “How to enable people from different backgrounds to fully understand individual rights and the forms of their application within the complex professional legal and planning framework, to be able to identify and assemble groups with the same needs and interests, to master the framework of neighborhood planning the and ability to realize the collective vision within. “
After summarizing the documents and framework of neighborhood planning, we made a roadmap that detailed the process of neighborhood planning so that people can clearly fi nd the corresponding steps and structures

PREFACE
We first developed an NPing encyclopedia to categorize, organize, generalize and re-edit all complex information about neighborhood planning. Through a more convenient and repeatable W than planning officials, residents can clearly understand the detailed process within the neighborhood planning framework, the corresponding application forms and technical support, laws and regulations and other effective tools.
QUESTIONNAIRE
Provided to people who do not know NP
How to become a relevant Body, a few simple options can be established.
Delineating the scope of the Neighborhood Area is one of the most important parts of the entire neighborhood plan to promote the democratic process of the community. The list information
Applying for the Neighborhood Forum is the most important part of the entire neighborhood program and provides the first step in the overall community democratic process. Listed information includes
TO DO LIST
For people who know NP but lack the specifics
For users who understand the concept of neighborhood planning but lack the overall concept, it takes too much time and experience to understand all of the massive and complex information, so the list and index based on the entire NP policy are obvious. Each option and detailed information guides users step-bystep to build a neighborhood plan for their community.
TOOLS SUPPORT
All economic, policy and other tools related to Neighborhood Planning and NDO are divided into four categories according to the usage
The complete table provides tools for all potential solutions to similar problems
Similar to NP, NDO can provide a more proactive way of safeguarding the interests of the community. The list provides corresponding application forms and technical
Each specific project provides details, including what the tool is, when it can be used, similar other tools, and web pages for classic case studies and more information.

MEANWHILE USE
Taking Meanwhile Use, a tool for shortterm use of the unutilized space of the community, as an example, users can learn about this gadget through case studies, when and how to use it, and directly through the three aspects of technology, policy and economy. Provide support on demand (contact information, web page jump, required
QUICK QUESTIONARE
For minorities or people who lack understanding of the overall policy, finding regulations and tools to address the problem can be far more effective than engaging in lengthy neighborhood programs.
Therefore, they can be quickly located on the possible applicable tool pages through a simple questionnaire. For example, they may find that "Meanwhile Use", a tool for short-term use of the underutilized space of the community, can meet their needs very well.

When we studied the history of Church Street, We found that in the 1830s wealthy people gathered on Church Street, including the famous writer George Eliot, who came here every week. Church Street was once expected to rival Covent Garden
The neighbourhood was badly damaged during the Blitz and the old market site was redeveloped as part of the Church Street estate after the war. More council flats filled the street’s hinterland in the following decades, some controversially replacing properties that could have been restored.
