Community Leadership in North Edinburgh: Report from the Knowledge Exchange Labs 2022

Edinburgh Futures Institute’s (EFI) Data Civics team was funded by the UK Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) to undertake knowledge exchange and shared learning with local bodies in North Edinburgh – drawing on previous research on both community empowerment and digital cultural regeneration. This report outlines the learning from the Knowledge Exchange Labs undertaken with local community sector, local and wider third sector, and local organisations, groups, and public sector services to understand their experiences of community leadership and community-led regeneration; and to consider the potential for a shared research agenda.
