CASE STUDY | London's Strengthening Neighbourhoods Strategy

“The heart and essence of every city and community are its neighbourhoods.” This belief is central to London, Ontario’s neighbourhood-based work driven by a desire to see all neighbourhoods thrive. Over the past decade, London’s Strengthening Neighbourhoods Strategy has been sustainable through its ongoing commitment to resident engagement, cross-departmental collaboration and their ability to adapt.

A decade into its neighbourhood strategy, the City of London, Ontario has demonstrated what is possible when neighbourhoods are empowered, connected and involved in making decisions about the places where they live, work, and play.
