Sense of Community

A sense of community is key to the region’s residents feeling
positive about where they live. A true sense of community is a
culmination of three factors:
- Building real communities
- Building sustainable communities
- Fostering a sense of place
Building Real Communities
Building real communities is about improving the region’s
infrastructure,
housing and green spaces, as well as
regenerating urban areas
and developing rural
areas, to make the Northwest a better place to live.
It is also about working with communities to ensure equality and economic
inclusion.

communities.
Fostering a Sense of Place
A sense of place is about region’s residents having a belief in
the identity of the Northwest; about them taking a sense of pride
in the region. (This sense of place is an important element of
developing the region’s
tourism.)
