Balsall Heath study visit

People for Action have organised a study visit to Balsall Heath. Here's the blurb -

26th February 2004
Active Communities
Balsall Heath has gained national recognition as an urban success story, yet it has been a long struggle for what was once an infamously run-down and crime-ridden part of inner-city Birmingham. The regeneration of the area has developed from the ground up, pioneered and directed by the community itself - and has proved to be an inspiration for many. David Blunkett said: "They recognised that each of us is dependent for our prosperity and fulfilment on the wider community of which we are a part."
This study visit will take in a tour of the area, and feature speakers from the Balsall Heath Forum and other local resident and voluntary groups. The day will focus on how communities can take control of their areas and have a major, positive influence on the local quality of life.

The e-neighbors project "We're often not at home, or if we're at home, we're inside our houses... We often have garden services. We don't mow our lawns. We don't have that familiarity with our neighbors. This is our over-the-fence." I quite liked this quote referring to neighbourhood online message systems, from a Boston Globe article about Keith Hampton's e-neighborhoods project. The project has been looking at how email technologies can stimulate and support neighbourhood relations, in four local areas around Boston Massachusetts. Keith presented at a conference a couple of years ago which I organised in Oxford and a policy seminar in London. The news I'm waiting to have confirmed is that he'll be in England again some time this spring, for an event on neighbourhoods, and I'll announce that here as soon as I have the date. (No pressure Keith!)

"One of the most important books on community development..." Alison Gilchrist, author of The well-connected community, which was described today as 'one of the most important books on community development that we've ever had.' The claim was made by Danny Burns, Professor of Social & Organisational Learning at the University of the West of England, at the book's launch. Find out why.
