This report reviews the case for working in this new way and draws on past experience and learning to identify the growth points for the future.

It is based on a review of recent research and a series of interviews with local authorities and other agencies which are involved in developing joined up action at neighbourhood level:

  • Part 1 reviews the key lessons from the past and the challenges that have to be faced.
  • Part 2 describes the different approaches currently being taken and the issues that they raise.
  • Part 3 identifies the implications for the future design and implementation of Neighbourhood Management strategies – for government at all levels, for other agencies and for local communities.
