Possible ICT projects for housing areas

We developed a long list of the types of projects that might be considered by housing associations or - in some instances - partnerships in neighbourhoods. It reflects what is happening in the UK, and elsewhere, in different locations. Some of these project ideas are featured in the online game that we developed for workshops. More here about the game. >

Many of the projects further down the list would rely on development of appropriate infrastructure and access. Similarly, there is little point in installing the technology unless it is clear for what purpose it will be used. Different projects require different types of technology.

The categories for projects are:

  • Technology infrastructure

  • Infrastructure access and equipment

  • Awareness and involvement

  • Technical training and support

  • Community infrastructure and learning

  • Content development

  • Online community building

  • Service delivery projects

  • Community-wide strategies
