PLACE GUIDE: A PROCESS FOR IMPROVED PLACE-BASED DECISION MAKING SCOTTISH FUTURES TRUST

Audiences Who is the guide for?


The Guide supports the ‘commissioning’ space; i.e. people identifying, prioritising and shaping local investment in capital projects and services. These people will likely have different roles and responsibilities e.g.


• a Transformation Lead at a local authority, with responsibility to set up and run a significant service change programme


• the Chief Officer at a Health & Social Care Partnership, shaping delivery of community care, and promoting Health & Wellbeing outcomes


• a Community Trust, seeking and using the opportunities of funding from public sector partners and the Scottish Government as a ‘community anchor’


• the Community Planning Partnership Manager, coordinating public & community policy efforts locally to e.g. reduce inequality


• the Director of Assets or Infrastructure at a council or the NHS, perhaps focused on reducing costs via estate rationalisation


• a Head of Planning, considering and outlining action around transport, affordable housing and sustainability


• a Director of Development at a housing association, using anchor body status and its capital to stimulate collaboration in delivering more affordable homes in communities, town centres and 20 minute neighbourhoods.
