About: Community power

An Entity of Type: Thing, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Community power is an approach to public service design and delivery., primarily influential in British local government. It is characterised by an adherence to "principles of devolution, localisation and democratisation" and foregrounds the belief that "communities have knowledge, skills and assets which mean they themselves are well placed to identify and respond to any challenges that they face". In practice, proponents of community power seek to create public services that are non-transactional, non-hierarchical, and where local communities and communities of interest are able to shape the parts of the state that they interact with.
