A large printed street map of East and Central London is covered with numerous colourful sticky notes; mainly pink, blue, and peach, as well as a few hand‑drawn icons and symbols. The notes are clustered across different neighbourhoods such as Hackney, Shoreditch, Canary Wharf, and Stratford. Each sticky note contains short handwritten comments, ideas, or concerns related to local climate adaptation, such as heat impacts, community needs, infrastructure issues, or suggestions for improvements. Circular blue stickers with simple drawings are also placed across the map. The overall layout suggests a collaborative workshop activity where participants mapped place‑based insights, priorities, and experiences.
