Community engagement in housing market renewal a good practice guide [electronic resource] - Coventry CIH 2007

Introduction to housing market renewal -- Engaging with communities - general principles -- Engaging at pathfinder level -- Engaging at neighbourhood level - getting started -- Engaging at neighbourhood level - developing and implementing detailed plans -- Engaging at the individual level - housing options, support and advice services for householders -- skills for community engagement -- Using consultants and community engagement -- Engagement and community cohesion -- Formal engagement in the planning process -- Community capacity building -- Dealing with the media.

Aims: to identify the key stages, in preparing and implementing a strategy for renewal, at which the pathfinders and their partners are engaging with local communities; to set down practical approaches to doing so, where possible using examples from the pathfinders themselves (or from regeneration projects elsewhere that provide relevant examples); and to propose standards about engaging with communities that can be applied both at strategic level and the level of decision-making about individual neighbourhoods, streets and homes, and show how they might apply.
