Developing Resources to Support The Cultural Regeneration of South West High Streets

UoG worked with Arts Council England (South West) to develop plans for a resource hub for cultural regeneration on the high street. Outputs from this collaboration include:

1. an initial report on knowledge and expertise in the use of culture and creativity in placed-based regeneration/development.

2. case studies of meanwhile space & creatively animating the public realm with a small number of experienced organisations across the SW

3. and a plan to share the findings across LA, particularly Priority Places in the SW.

The UoG team was led by Dan Keech (CCRI) who worked closely with Adam Shephard (Birmingham University). It followed fast on the heels of on-going work in Gloucester where a wider UoG team explored ways to evaluate intangible ‘pride of place’ linked to culture-led regeneration.
