Creating sustainable communities
Public policy and academic research
CCSR one day conference, 23 June 1999, at Manchester Dental School.
Government policy is increasingly concerned with the sustainability or
viability of the poorest communities. This is reflected in the
national strategy for neighbourhood renewal. This one-day conference
will focus on practical issues around the concept of community
sustainability and its measurement; policies to tackle problems of
neighbourhood disintegration and how research can inform policy making
at a national and local level.

Professor Anne Power, London School of Economics

Understanding and measuring sustainability
The Policy Agenda, including perspectives from the grassroots, local

financial exclusion
Speakers will include: Brian Robson, Hugh Barton, Mike Noble, Bruce
Penhale, Dave Butler, Ian Woodward, Tom Russell, Rowland Atkinson,
