Faith in Urban Regeneration
Purpose
People of diverse faiths have been British citizens for centuries but it is in comparatively recent times that, what might be called a multi-faith society, is recognisable. Today, when debate about faiths has often centred on issues of fundamentalism and terrorism, there is a need for planners involved in regeneration and the development of sustainable communities to have a better understanding of faith communities. This knowledge builder promotes that understanding.
Benefits
Community engagement is a fundamental requirement of all planning activity, whether preparation of local development frameworks, consultations on a planning proposal or regeneration and community renewal. Faith communities are just one formation within that wider community, but one that is both diverse and extensive.
Audience
Urban and regional planners and all those wishing to build and assess their knowledge of the topic.
Learning method
A knowledge builder which provides a commentary, explanation and context for this topic which has specific relevance to local business communities. Additionally a range of further reading and appropriate websites are provided for those who wish to become expert in the subject. Includes voluntary self assessment for recording continuous professional development (CPD).
