Spaces of HOPE. The Hidden History of Community Led Planning in the UK
The project aims to generate impact by working with the UK’s Town and Country Planning Association (TCPA, https://www.tcpa.org.uk/ ) to stimulate dialogue between past and present. A project website, hosted by the Digital Humanities Institute but available through the TCPA site, will act as an interactive CLP 'exhibition', including timelines and downloadable maps, and a living archive of CLP stories and materials. A series of workshops, short articles and presentations at practitioner events will be used to generate discussion and we will produce downloadable guides for local groups interested in researching CLP and on what policy-makers can learn from these histories of citizen action and participatory planning. A final, national workshop "Community-Led Planning: the Next Fifty Years" will promote collective discussions on the future of CLP.
