Community powered regeneration: Research Workshops – 16 July 24
Register now
Our latest research project has focused on exploring Community powered regeneration. The project is in partnership with Browne Jacobson and Local Partnerships.
We have been exploring how the current approach to development could create more opportunity for participation and engagement in shaping plans. What would it mean in practice to shift away from an adversarial approach to one that builds support and acknowledges both possibilities and trade-offs?
We are holding two online research workshops which will each address different themes, and seek input from a range of expert practitioners to test and develop our findings:
Workshop 2: How can we do community-led regeneration well? Tuesday 16 July, 12:45 – 14:00, online. Sign up via the Register Now link above.
This workshop will explore the opportunities of involving communities more directly in planning and regeneration. Some key questions will be:
- Where are there examples of communities shaping, designing or directly leading regeneration plans? What can we learn from successful approaches to inform a wider approach?
- How can existing sectors, professions and disciplines work together with communities at the heart of projects? What skillsets, cultures and funding are required to support this?
- How can a national framework enable community-led regeneration to take shape in practice?
Each workshop is a standalone session – invitees may wish to attend one but we would welcome participants who would like to attend both, to enable broader engagement with the project’s emerging findings.
