PUBLICATION LAUNCHES
The following publications will be launched at Community Land Trusts 2008: and are included as part of the delegate fee.
COMMUNITY LAND TRUST URBAN TOOLKIT
The Community Land Trust Urban Toolkit brings together all the information needed for putting in place a community land trust in an urban area. It is intended for use by communities, local authorities, housing associations, development trusts and others. It explains where a CLT might be the answer to the question "What is needed to enable lasting change?" and provides the policy framework, methodologies, examples and references needed to turn community engagement into community-led solutions. The mechanisms suggested preserve the value of the assets generated for use in perpetuity by the community, for the benefit of the community.
COMMUNITY LAND TRUST RURAL REPORT
The national demonstration programme of Community Land Trusts (CLTs) has successfully supported a number of rural CLTs across England. The CLT Rural Report brings together the lessons learned, supported by seven case studies that demonstrate the various ways this mechanism has been adopted in practice. The report introduces and defines the CLT concept and explains how it might be a solution in rural communities that suffer from problems related to a lack of affordable housing. It is intended to encourage more communities to become aware of the possibilities and for technical experts in local authorities, housing associations and development trusts to support grass roots activity.
