Description
Reflecting the complex and inter-connected issues facing such places, the paper argues that a new conception is required to address issues of belonging and attachment.
The paper outlines the basis of an expanded neo-endogenous development approach, identifying the foundational economy, income and livelihoods, social infrastructures and social innovation as key policy concerns.
