PUSH as a Priority Place

Living Places

The national Living Places Partnership is working across the country to ensure cultural activity is a central part of all regeneration and growth programmes. They have identified five Priority Places across the UK as a focus for their support. PUSH is one of those Priority Places. The national partners in the Living Places initiative, who include Government Departments, will work with those in the PUSH area to see how we can ensure culture contributes to the identity and success of new communities. Together we will:

  • ensure that investment and activity by the cultural agencies is effectively aligned and adds value to work already underway and/or planned.

  • stimulate the development of effective collaborative working across the growth point, including with the various local authorities.

  • provide an opportunity for advocacy and an exemplar for best practice with regard to the role of culture in place making/place shaping.

  • allow for the further development of the research/evidence base.
