New toolkit to help integrate culture into regeneration
A government-funded partnership has launched a Culture, Sport and Planning Toolkit (CSPT) to guide developers on ways to integrate cultural and sporting facilities into regeneration schemes.
The online resource brings together new and existing tools to incorporate planning for culture and sport into new and existing developments as well as providing advice on how to best integrate these into an infrastructure. The five-stage CSPT has been developed by the Living Places partnership, which includes the DCMS, the Department of Communities and Local Government, Living Places, Arts Council England, Museums, Libraries and Archives Partnership, CABE, English Heritage and Sport England. The toolkit and associated training and dissemination programme is funded through the Treasury's Invest to Save Inclusive Communities budget.
Roy Clare, chief executive of the Museums, Libraries and Archives Council, said: “Built environment professionals and people working in culture and sport want the same thing; healthy, prosperous, vibrant places where people trust their neighbours and feel proud of their neighbourhood. But for too long, culture, sport and planning have spoken different languages. "This toolkit is an online translator to break down historic barriers. It will help culture, sport and planning work more closely together to build better places for the future.”
The toolkit has been introduced to bring cultural agencies and people working in the built environment together to deliver sustainable communities through culture and to gather evidence they need to recommend culture-led plans for regeneration. It has also been designed to help local government cultural officers navigate the planning system, so they can make a better case for museums, libraries, art and sports facilities to be included in developments.
