Community-led regeneration handbook

This handbook is a practical guide for residents, professionals and all those involved in Estate Regeneration. It features 5 success stories of Estate Regeneration in Plymouth, London, Liverpool, Walsall and Bradford, written by resident leaders with first hand experience of transforming their Estate. It also contains simple to follow guidance by experienced professionals and voluntary experts on key issues (eg. rural regeneration, crime and drugs prevention, jobs and training, funding, management, New Deal for Communities, partnerships), as well as useful basic information and a contact short list. It is widely recognised that the residents are not the problem but the key to the solution. This book illustrates that theory, and helps turn it into good and successful practice.
