Place-based Approach

A place-based approach is a way of solving community issues by focusing on the specific needs, strengths, and resources of a particular area. Instead of applying broad, one-size-fits-all solutions, it involves working closely with local residents, organizations, and institutions to develop tailored strategies. This approach recognizes that each community has unique characteristics and challenges, so addressing them requires understanding the local context. The goal is to create sustainable improvements by building on local assets and fostering collaboration among those who live and work there.
