It would be helpful in meeting the vision around sustainable communities if the key issues and evidence base included something around the commons (in addition to management of resources through the state and the market). We have research from work which is creating the conditions for and nurturing the growth of the civic commons in Dudley, which we'd love to share with you. This reflects a national and global growth of commons-based activities, projects, organisational structures and movements.

The Core Strategy could incorporate more around place based social change in terms of animating and re-purposing latent assets, both physical (e.g. creative spaces); and human (e.g. skills, connectivity, capabilities), and the values and processes which facilitate this. Evidence gathered through our place based work (in Dudley town centre) shows clear evidence of the building of social capital and offers valuable insight into what that connectivity and network development secures in terms of wellbeing and resilience. With the creative space and time to experiment, an organic, citizen-led response to complex needs around the de-generation of Dudley is developing.

Design approaches (rather than features, and wider than HIA) we use and advocate include...
Strategic design: this applies some of the principles of traditional design to "big picture" systemic challenges like health care, education, and climate change. It redefines how problems are approached, identifies opportunities for action, and helps deliver more complete and resilient
solutions. (ref. Helsinki Design Lab)
Ethical Redevelopment: the reimagining of space and the politics of spatial and social governance with the intention to create new forms of equity, new ways of encouraging more life in a place. (re. Chicago Place Lab)

Ref 6.7 The approach should go further than enabling 'people to have choice' and invite residents and other local stakeholders to be active co-creators of places.
Ref. 6.11 Open space can be collectively managed through commons practices and processes.
Ref 6.12 Our research participants identified a place based cultural deficit and explicit barriers to the growth of creative spaces with a subsequent negative impact upon individual and collective sense of wellbeing, identity, and skills. Creative spaces, and the process of creating spaces, was highlighted as providing the conditions for creative practice and neutrality to help break down barriers to difference.
