Futures Forum: The New Economics Foundation ... and the Great Transition Project
One particular project has been 'Plugging the leaks':
Plugging the Leaks was created to support people in communities to take a different approach to local economic development, one that can have a greater, more sustainable impact on their local economies than traditional regeneration initiatives.
Plugging the Leaks goes further than simply getting more money into the local economy through tourism, inward investment or funding. It re-generates the local economy from within, and takes advantage of the resources that a community already possesses.
- A Different Approach
Why Plugging the Leaks is important. - A Communities Taking Action
To transform their local economy. - Public Sector for Public Benefit
Making public spending work harder.
