![Page 3: Communities R Us Richard Edwards](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062616/549b2623b4795929098b46d4/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Why
• Statistics give us local intelligence, but:– Its out of date– tells a story about
problems not people
• To grow engagement based upon people’s lives not institutions needs
• To challenge stereotypical views of people and the places they live in

Crucially it:
• Stops neighbourhoods being seen as problems to which government/ agencies need to fix the problems
Rather• Its shows neighbourhoods as places full of
skills, talents and energy
