Place-based community engagement

Place-based community engagement involves actively involving people in the decision-making and activities that shape their local neighborhood or area. It focuses on building strong connections between residents, organizations, and institutions within a specific place, such as a neighborhood or district. By understanding local needs, assets, and culture, this approach encourages collaborative efforts to improve community well-being, sustainability, and resilience. Essentially, it emphasizes working from the ground up, fostering local participation to create more relevant, effective, and sustained positive change in the community.
