Summary

Over the course of the week of the 31st of August to the 5th of September 2021, the Clever Cities team was able to collect data based on the on the observations of the intensity and type of use in two open spaces in Thamesmead, South East London: Abbey Way and Southmere Square. Observations were made of both of these places at three different times during the day. While collecting data, the team made note of each person that entered the space, how old they were, their gender, whether they were in a group or by themselves, what they were doing within the space, and how long they stayed. These observations occurred during a morning and in two afternoon time slots on each of the following days: Tuesday 31st, Friday 3rd, Saturday 4th, and Sunday 5th. From these observations, a number of conclusions were drawn about how the space is being used. These observations essentially confirmed our understanding of how these spaces function given their relative locations, the equipment and infrastructure present.
