What is Neighbourhood?

Definition

A neighbourhood is the spatial and social surroundings of a home. It includes buildings, paths, meeting points and the people you regularly see. In CooHood this is the frame for a hood.

Why it matters

Everyday life does not happen across a whole city, but in a few streets. Knowing your neighbourhood makes help, offers and information easier to find – without anonymous platforms.

Everyday examples

The walk to the collection point, the bakery around the corner, a chat in the stairwell, or asking who has an hour at the weekend.

How CooHood helps

CooHood assigns you to a hood after your residential address is confirmed. Content, help and offers stay in the neighbourhood instead of going public on the internet.
