Discover the inspiring journey of the Rising Green Youth Hub, a co-created space on Wood Green high street. This case study tells the story of how diverse demographics and professionals came together to create a safe space for young people on the high street.

In this brief Q&A, vacant property expert Shaylesh Patel talks us through business rates, shedding light on what they are, who uses them, and the silver linings they offer for both landlords and the local community.

With a network of more than one hundred local volunteers and an ambitious range of activities, Palmers Green Action Team has become one of London’s most inspiring examples of community-led high street regeneration. In this case study, we speak to Däna Burstow and Liz Robinson from the team's steering committee.

How do you know if a new enterprise will be worth its investment? In this Q&A, placemaking expert Sandra Perez sets out the fundamentals of putting together a business case to deliver welcoming and viable projects on our high streets.

On April 24th, 2023, we brought together the founder of Hypha Studios, Camilla Cole, with artist Anna Fearon, landowner Nicola Blake, and art curator Eliza Bonham Carter. Read our key takeaways to find out how Hypha works with landowners and artists to bring culture and community to empty high street properties.
