Left behind neighbourhoods

Our research on left behind neighbourhoods suggests that when multiply deprived areas lack places to meet, an engaged community and proper connectivity, they fare much worse than other deprived neighbourhoods.

Our ongoing work with Local Trust includes developing a quantitative measure of left behind neighbourhoods using open data and developing a Community Needs Index for the first time.
