Community control can be a powerful means of limiting the injustices of gentrification and allowing more socially just regeneration to take place. The book is about how we can make and retain places and community assets for people, rather than for capital, and the real-world policy interventions needed to achieve this.
Setting out the successes and failures of community-led regeneration, the book offers case studies from Bristol and Glasgow – two cities which are home to social inequalities but also a strong tradition of community activism – as well as narratives from community enterprises across England and Scotland. Alice Earley makes the case for more funding and support for community enterprises so that they can realise their potential contribution to regeneration.
