Explore a visionary approach to community development in this TEDx talk by Associate Professor Anna Francis. Discover how transforming a disused pub into a vibrant community space and social enterprise has empowered a formerly condemned residential area in Stoke-on-Trent to plan for a sustainable future. Learn about the innovative 100-year plan initiative, which aims to overcome the limitations of short-term project funding and create lasting change. Gain insights into the role of culture and creativity in community revitalization, and understand how long-term planning can provide a framework for smaller projects to contribute to a broader vision. Hear about the national recognition this project has received and its potential to inspire similar initiatives in other communities.
