Early start today for the #understandingcommunities conference in #Manchester looking forward to hearing about all the #Nuffield research showcased Just Neighbourhoods?

Delighted to be hosting today's Understanding Communities end-of-programme conference with The British Academy in Manchester. A busy day of learning ahead with our grant-holders. Alex Beer and Alice Reeves manage the six projects funded by the £1.1m grants programme.

Our research manager, Lucy Terry, reflects on three key learnings shared by the panel at our latest research seminar on community-led governance which took place The University of Manchester: localtrust.org.uk/news-and-stori…

Settling in for some "slow planning" at Civic Voice's Annual Meeting - with Prof Gavin Parker & Mark Dobson putting a critical spotlight on the obsession with speed in planning and how "project speed" skews democracy with worse outcomes

Great to hear Griff Civic Voice but we had to follow him! RealEstate&Planning need to explain our #slowplanning work

Are matters of #Justice #Equity #Deprivation #Inclusion addressed in community activity across the UK?

Watching the launch of the 'Think Neighbourhoods' report today and thinking about how we can also support rural neighbourhoods to thrive and prosper. #ruralneighbourhoods #ruraldeprivationishidden

ICON’s interim report, Think Neighbourhoods, identifies 1 million people living in neighbourhoods struggling to meet the government’s 5 missions – the ‘mission million’.

Our next webinar 3rd June at 5pm: "Timescaping Planning: what's the problem, and who loses out" We welcome Prof Prof Gavin Parker & Dr Mark Dobson, Uni of Reading. Why the powers-that-be seek to remove 'obstructionists' & 'nay-sayers' from the planning process in the headlong rush to
