The Politics of Community

In this episode, Anna Anderson speaks with Councillor Stephen Cowan, the leader of Hammersmith and Fulham council about the role local government plays in building a cohesive and connected community. 

 

With a focus on both practical and philosophical elements, Steve explains the significance of physical spaces, community-driven initiatives, and the role business can play in supporting communities. The conversation highlights ambitious projects like the civic campus and the Upstream initiative, and if it takes a village to raise a child, how Hammersmith and Fulham can become that village.
