The Neighbourhood Project

The Neighbourhood Project exists to help communities better understand the places where they live and to encourage greater involvement in local civic life.

We look at the histories of neighbourhoods from the viewpoint of residents, examine what drove them to grow, discuss why some declined and others were lost, and we consider those neighbourhoods that were planned but never actually built.

We also look at what makes a good community as opposed to just an area of housing, and how residents can have a greater level of control over what happens to their neighbourhood.
