Granby Four Streets, Liverpool, UK, 2015

Abstract

The active support of a community and their ability to organize through a Community Land Trust (CLT) serve as the cornerstone for this enduring and fruitful collaboration. For over a decade, the multidisciplinary collective Assemble has collaborated with the Granby Four Streets CLT in Liverpool, contributing to an exemplary grassroots urban regeneration initiative. Their involvement ranges from renovating derelict terrace houses for affordable rentals, establishing partnerships with the Granby ceramics workshop, to designing the Granby Winter Garden, a constellation of initiatives all aimed at community-centered regeneration.
