It shows us what communities strive for, what they struggle against, and what conditions help people feel able to influence the future of their neighbourhoods.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1266\" data-end=\"1395\">To support reflection on these questions, we\u2019re hosting a small, invite-only policy symposium. This gathering will allow us to:<\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"1396\" data-end=\"1670\">\n<li data-start=\"1396\" data-end=\"1454\">\n<p data-start=\"1398\" data-end=\"1454\">share our findings and tentative conclusions,<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"1455\" data-end=\"1519\">\n<p data-start=\"1457\" data-end=\"1519\">explore their implications for planning practice and policy,<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"1520\" data-end=\"1587\">\n<p data-start=\"1522\" data-end=\"1587\">consider what more equitable participation could look like, and<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"1588\" data-end=\"1670\">\n<p data-start=\"1590\" data-end=\"1670\">connect with others committed to creating fairer, more inclusive neighbourhoods.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-start=\"1672\" data-end=\"1908\">Although the event itself has limited capacity, we are keen to ensure that the learning reaches as widely as possible.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1672\" data-end=\"1908\">Over the coming months, we will be sharing insights, resources, and reflections from the project here on our website.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1910\" data-end=\"2077\">If you are interested in the themes of the symposium or would like to hear more about our work, please feel free to get in touch:<br data-start=\"2039\" data-end=\"2042\" \/><strong data-start=\"2042\" data-end=\"2077\"><a class=\"decorated-link cursor-pointer\" rel=\"noopener\" data-start=\"2044\" data-end=\"2075\">tessa.lynn@henley.reading.ac.uk<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As the Just Neighbourhoods? project moves into its final phase, we\u2019re preparing to bring together practitioners, policymakers, and academics a dedicated conversation about what our research has revealed.
