Research output: Other contribution (including Policy/Stakeholder briefings)Other contribution

Abstract

Where do we expect Coll to be in 2045 if current economic and policy trends continue? And what would we like to see happen? How can housing interventions contribute to moving from the most likely to the most desirable scenario? These are questions that the Isle of Coll community discussed in a workshop organised by researchers from The James Hutton Institute’s Social, Economic & Geographical Sciences department as part of the Scottish Government-funded project “Informing a socially and spatially just future for the Scottish rural economy: Pinpointing opportunities, assets and support needs”.
