DESCRIPTION
In de UK is het veel gebruikelijker dat bewoners en bedrijven (mede)verantwoordelijk zijn voor hun directe leefomgeving. Premier David cameron maakt zich hard voor het ontwikkelen van de "Big Society" om locale gemeenteschappen meer kracht te geven. Onze hoofdspreker Steve Clare van Locality, een Britse netwerk van vijfhonderd buurtbeheerorganisaties, vertelt ons over zijn praktijkervaringen in de UK. Hoe zijn de locale bewoners actief in het beheer van hun buurt? Wat levert dat de buurten en de gemeente op? Met welke wetgeving en organisatievormen hebben ze dat voor elkaar gekregen? En wat kunnen wij in Nederland van hen leren? Doen wij al veel aan bewonersparticipatie, of staan wij pas aan het begin van een onomkeerbare verandering...?

“Public spaces are not a frivolity. They are just as important as hospitals and schools. They create a sense of belonging. This creates a different type of society. A society where people of all income levels meet in public spaces is a more integrated, socially healthier one.”
Enrique Peñalosa —former mayor of Bogotá, Colombia
