living places advice and guidance

The living places partners are committed to helping build communities that offer sporting and cultural opportunities for all, are rich in local heritage, and enjoy the benefits of design excellence. To this end this they have compiled a library of resources which offer guidance, advice and practical support to all those who are working to build sustainable communities. With information on issues from street design to heritage conservation, these resources will be useful to designers, planners, and community activists.

A full list of the living places partner resources can be found here.

Alongside living places, there are a wide range of programmes and organisations working to improve the quality of communities. This section contains information about these, sources of relevant news, and links to some of the resources produced by external organisations.

Resources produced by organisations not part of the living places partnership can be found here.
