Rapid research COVID-19 Briefing #7: Community responses to COVID-19 - Towards community-led infrastructure

Macmillan, Rob (2020) Rapid research COVID-19 Briefing #7: Community responses to COVID-19 - Towards community-led infrastructure.

Abstract

Research on the role of community action during COVID-19 to date has suggested that well-established ‘community-led infrastructure’ (CLI) – that is, networks of residents, community leadership, trust, relationships with agencies, and access to money – can make for an effective community response to COVID-19. This briefing situates CLI in a gathering conversation involving different but overlapping conceptions of infrastructure, alongside other concepts such as community capital and the social fabric. Two aspects of CLI – its focus and how it is controlled – are highlighted, which appear to be otherwise underplayed in current debates and alternative understandings of infrastructure.
