Meeting our future needs through quality urban regeneration
Start with Why?
"...the hard bit is selling the vision to the residents. Because if a city’s residents remain divided about the advisability of the plan, then subsequent administrations will devise new plans and the city’s future then gets squandered by a process of always planning but never actually doing."
Bernard Salt*
The Vision
"There is no power for change greater than a community discovering what it cares about"
Margaret Wheatley**
The Mission
Creating the conditions to meet our future needs by obtaining public permission for urban regeneration, vibrant town centres & local jobs, housing choice and connected to public transport
Create the Tipping Point
The point at which a series of small changes or incidents becomes significant enough
to cause a larger, more important change
