Learning

These pages provide resources developed from the Communities in Control study’s research and engagement activities. Phases 1 and 2 produced learning on topics related to the processes, context and early impacts of Big Local. These findings were used to produce topic based research summaries, videos, and journal articles for practitioners and residents.

These topics will be added to over time so please check back.
