Abstract

In this paper, we delve into the opportunities and challenges of implementing municipal renewal as a national policy, especially in the context of local authorities’ relationships with anchor institutions, civil society and the social economy. Drawing on the initiation of a national Community Wealth Building policy, as adopted by the Scottish Government in 2021, we review the extant literature to discuss the emerging challenges and opportunities for CWB as a form of ‘New’ Municipalism.
