What?
3Space, a non-profit, was given 5 year temporary use of a 65,000sqft municipal building in Brixton, London, before its formal redevelopment.
Their BuyGiveWork model means that for every space that is leased by companies like RESI, a space will be made available to community groups at no cost, providing civic infrastructure. Further, company staff dedicates one hour a month to support local community groups and community events.
Takeaway
A sustainable intermediary to dynamize community organizing and opportunities leveraging an unused government asset. Various partners from business, government and community develop collaborations.
