Neighbourhood renewal and community cohesion
The role of culture lies at the very heart of neighbourhood renewal and community cohesion, with the consequent benefits for employment, tourism and civic pride.
The arts have the capacity to:
- Develop individual pride and community spirit
- Help reverse the spiral of decline in disadvantaged areas by fostering a new sense of community and civic pride amongst residents
- Attract new commerce and businesses to deprived areas
- Provide a positive focus for community activity and innovative training opportunities
- Recognise and celebrate cultural diversity to the cultural benefit of the whole community
