The report, from the University of Glasgow, considers the need to balance the focus on the geographic and economic dimensions of place with the lived and felt.
Entitled ‘Developing a People-Centred, Place-Led Approach: The Value of the Arts and Humanities’, the report explores how to advance a people-centred, place-led approach to policies and practices.
It details the findings of phase one of the Arts and Humanities Research Council’s (AHRC) Place-Based Research Programme, led by Rebecca Madgin, Professor of Urban Studies at the University of Glasgow.
Professor Christopher Smith, Executive Chair of AHRC said:
We welcome the work that Rebecca and her team in the Place-Based Research Programme are doing, which engages with the very fabric of how we live in this country and how we live equitably across the globe.
