How the pages link

The portfolio opens onto five London-wide frameworks and tools. The Working Group and the Six Pathways are, in turn, the way into the borough and Camden pages beneath them. Two pages are so far only reachable from this Library.

Every page

Grouped by who the work belongs to. Under the IP position agreed with the Camden Food Partnership, everything is open except the tools built for Camden alone.

Shared across the alliance under the open-IP position.

Camden

Built for Camden alone. These belong to Camden outright.

  • Healthy Weight Acceleration PlanDraft

  • Options and Indicators for CamdenDraft

    Eleven interventions where someone already showed up, distilled from Where’s the Energy? and Camden's own sensemaking workshop, plus the three simple indicators Camden and DML will use to know the mission is actually working.

  • Governing for TransformationDraft

    A governance draft rooted in shared authorship rather than one side holding power over the other — drawing on Dark Matter Labs’ Governing Together, many-to-many contracting and Cornerstone Indicators work, and Indy Johar’s “The Energetics of Building.”

  • What Transfers to CamdenDraft

    A Camden-specific reading of Dark Matter Labs’ Sweden food-system work: which instruments transfer directly, where Camden’s institutions differ, and what’s still an early signal from the Baltic States.

  • Options for How the Partnership Could OperateDraft

    A reference guide for how the Camden Food Partnership could be hosted and legally structured as it matures, drawing on the Kauffman Foundation’s ecosystem playbook and the Sustainable Food Places network of over 100 UK food partnerships.
