This innovative study provides a critical analysis of diverse international experiences of co-creation in neighbourhood settings across Europe and South America.
It brings together a unique collection of researchers, artists, residents, non-government organisations and policymakers, all exploring creative ways to address neighbourhood challenges and effect change towards more socially just cities.
This book makes a valuable contribution to debates about the theory and practice of community engagement and the arts to enact positive social change and explores innovative approaches to tackling marginalisation and stigmatisation internationally.
