This booklet explores the experiences of disabled women who have
been trying to make their voices heard about regeneration proposals
in their neighbourhoods. Through the voices of the women themselves
we hear about the institutional, social and physical barriers that
prevent women with disabilities from engaging in regeneration processes
with the result that regeneration outcomes do not always address
the needs of all groups. The booklet includes as useful checklist
for Local Strategic Partnerships who are trying to ensure that their
decision making processes are fully inclusive.

(Perspectives on Women and Regeneration)
ISBN 0-9516165-7-9
230x210mm 98pp 2002
This guide is designed to be a useful working tool for all those
involved with regeneration and renewal partnership boards and other
decision-making bodies connected with urban regeneration and renewal.
It is intended to promote inclusive working practices and encourage
the continuing development and practice of processes that harness
local skills and knowledge. The guide is primarily based on community
research and development work carried out by the Women and Regeneration
Project, with local women in three London regeneration areas between
1999-2001. It seeks to generate understanding of the barriers faced
by the diverse communities of women living in regeneration areas
and to suggest ways in which those barriers can be overcome. The
guide includes checklists to assess to what extent decision-making
bodies are working inclusively. These tools for practical steps
towards inclusiveness aim to assist partnerships in their work.
