Bringing Our Neighbourhoods to Life
Connecting local action and expertise to build thriving communities
Urban challenges today - from climate stress to fragmented services - require a different approach. NoTF brings together communities, organizations, and local actors to create lasting change at the neighbourhood level.
An Alliance for Local Action
NoTF is an informal alliance that treats neighbourhoods as sites of knowhow and action. The Nudge Unit brings communities, organizations, and local actors together through shared infrastructure, enabling collaboration that creates lasting change at the neighbourhood level.
