Description

Place-based cultural practitioners can help shape more sustainable futures and act as agents of change in their communities. Using the Scottish context, this report includes an overview of place policy and a scan of current cultural organisations engaged in place-making, with case studies of three socially-engaged practices and how these respond to local themes while simultaneously introducing important eco-social agendas.
