Cities, the social economy and inclusive growth
The social economy constitutes a range of organisations that have a core social mission, including social and community enterprises; voluntary and community sector organisations; housing associations; co-operatives and mutuals; informal self-help initiatives; social finance and support providers; and alternative business models.
The report develops several recommendations for how UK cities can engage the social economy to lead an inclusive growth agenda.
The project was undertaken by a team at Middlesex University and The Open University.
