Project overview

brings together a community of practice from a range of sectors, communities and geographies in order to better understand and evidence the correlation between place attachment (understood as the emotional bond between people and place) and the health of local cultural ecologies. Responding to the need established from our partner-based research, we will co-produce evaluative metrics for understanding pride and place.
