UK town centres are in crisis; there are around 50,000 fewer shops on our High Streets than 10 years ago due to a 20.1% decrease in visitor numbers (an average of 40 shops closing per town centre in England and Wales) (BBC,2020). These issues disproportionately affect poorer towns, with areas in the north-west (such as Blackpool) seeing closures at double the average rate (Guardian,2020). COVID-19 is expected to rapidly accelerate the closure of town centres, leading urban areas full of empty buildings and low footfall. Operators, agents, and landlords don't have the tools to service growing consumer needs for connected communities, with no vertically integrated solution with the necessary tools to connect and activate a network of spaces, people, and services.Neighbourhood are developing a novel, scalable AI solution for urban regeneration. The platform will offer a mobile first 'place-as-a-service' subscription, forming small neighbourhoods of locally-connected properties and on demand services. Tenants can search for properties, arrange viewings, take virtual tours, fill in forms, submit references and pay deposits via a mobile app., as well as communicate through community message boards, local events and classes (e.g. bring-and-shares, wellness classes, and community volunteering). Tenants will be rewarded for making environmental and socially impactful choices, such as low energy use, shopping at a local business, with a 'token' system to spend towards rent or other local services. Thanks to Neighbourhoods agile long term/short term lease backend algorithm, they make the most out of the real estate market demand maximising its yield per property. The platform developed in this project will drive community interaction and sustainable choices to address the growing challenges of urban loneliness and sustainable regeneration.This project will lead to development of a pre-commercial prototype of Neighbourhood's 'Neighbourhood Operating System': a vertically integrated platform to manage, market and activate space, communities, and commerce. This platform will be validated through a 3 month trial with a large mixed use landlord.

英国城镇中心正处于危机之中;由于游客数量减少了20.1%，我们的高街上的商店比10年前减少了大约50，000家（英格兰和威尔士每个城镇中心平均有40家商店关闭）。这些问题不成比例地影响了较贫困的城镇，西北部地区（如布莱克浦）的关闭率是平均水平的两倍（卫报，2020年）。COVID-19预计将迅速加速城镇中心的关闭，导致城市地区充满空置建筑物和低客流量。运营商、代理商和房东没有工具来满足消费者对互联社区日益增长的需求，也没有垂直整合的解决方案，没有必要的工具来连接和激活空间、人员和服务网络。Neighbourhood正在开发一种新颖的、可扩展的人工智能解决方案，用于城市更新。该平台将提供移动的第一个“位置即服务”订阅，形成本地连接的物业和按需服务的小社区。租户可以通过一个移动的应用程序搜索物业、安排观看、进行虚拟图尔斯参观、填写表格、提交推荐信和支付押金。以及通过社区留言板，当地活动和课程（例如带来和分享，健康课程和社区志愿服务）进行交流。租户将因做出对环境和社会有影响力的选择而获得奖励，例如低能耗、在当地企业购物，以及使用“代币”系统支付租金或其他当地服务。由于邻里敏捷的长期/短期租赁后端算法，他们充分利用了真实的房地产市场需求，最大限度地提高了每处房产的收益率。该项目开发的平台将推动社区互动和可持续的选择，以应对城市孤独和可持续再生的日益增长的挑战。该项目将导致开发一个商业化前的原型邻里的“邻里操作系统”：一个垂直整合的平台，管理，营销和激活空间，社区和商业。该平台将通过与大型混合使用业主的3个月试用进行验证。
