The Great Places Commission published its interim report in November 2018, capturing the wealth of insight and understanding it has gathered over the first phase of the programme.

The report summarises the Commission’s findings so far, and sets out 14 discussion points that it would like to explore in more detail with National Housing Federation members and other stakeholders involved in placemaking, community development and local collaboration.

What’s in the report?

The findings are summarised according to four themes:

  • People, and the role for housing associations and other local organisations in supporting local communities to take action and transform places.
  • Places, including the physical and non-physical aspects of a place – from the economy and infrastructure to narratives, myths and culture.
  • Partners, looking at which organisations have a stake in a place, how they collaborate, and what opportunities there are to work together.
  • Housing associations, and how they are invested in places and committed to communities.

There are 14 discussion points in total, set out according to the four themes and listed at the end of the report.
