I’m attending a short course in Cultural Planning at the University of The West of Scotland, thanks to getting some funding from Skills Development Scotland. Building on my work with urban communities and regeneration initiatives, i’m hoping this will be useful for furthering my approach to the built environment, and leading to more understanding of a communities specific needs. Cultural Planning has been widely adopted in cities like Glasgow where complex challenges of regeneration are addressed by a collaborative creative approach, encompassing a wide definition of cultural assets working across industry and communities, and identifying structures for new partnerships to develop between both grassroots and established organisations. http://www.uws.ac.uk/cpd-culturalplanning/
