On-the-ground explorations of community resilience

As part of the Hopeful Towns project, we have been working with community leaders and local decision-makers in two pilot areas – Port Talbot in South Wales and the Gravesend/Northfleet urban area in Kent. Through exploring underlying challenges and potential solutions in these places, we hope to better understand the policy context in different types of town.

​

Through talking to those who really know the challenges and opportunities facing their towns, we hope to understand the national policies and local initiatives needed to build a sustainable sense of belonging, hope and resilience in our communities.
