London Calling - Community Wealth Building
A collaborative action research and community mobilization project aimed at embedding, accelerating, and contributing to equitable economic development practices in London. The project seeks to create decent work opportunities, identify current and emerging projects of this new economy, and bridge between larger national and provincial networks working in the same area.
What are we doing?
- Developing a tool kit of community wealth building strategies that can be used in London and other contexts (Including highlighting ongoing projects in London which are part of this movement)
- Mobilizing two action tables to accelerate community wealth building strategies in London
- Host a one day regional knowledge sharing and design jam conference on community wealth building (Fall 2019)
