Project overview
This project explored the 'Towns Fund' in 2021, examining the ways in which local authorities were using heritage and culture as a lever for economic and social regeneration. We worked with national and local partners to understand the opportunities and challenges that thinking about culture represented in 2021. We were particularly focused on the forms of public consultation, uses of existing cultural and heritage assets, and the development of local cultural ecologies in towns. We worked with creative practitioners, poets, visual and sound artists, to suggest new imaginary futures for towns.
