It establishes a methodology for best practice by identifying opportunities, goals, strategies and outputs for approaching a variety of factors such as timescale and intervention type.

The guide has been compiled with contributions from a range of highly-experienced culture and built environment professionals, including the Culture and Creative Industries Unit at the Greater London Authority, PLP Architecture, Futurecity, Sound Diplomacy, Contemporary Art Society and Launch Pad.
