The New Book by Darren Rodwell

Communities are not built by bricks alone — they are built through leadership, compassion, vision and people working together for a shared future.
In Building Communities: One Brick and One Heart at a Time, Darren Rodwell shares his personal insights and experiences from years of public service, placemaking and community leadership. This inspiring new book explores how strong neighbourhoods, thriving towns and lasting change are created when people are placed at the heart of decision-making.
Blending practical lessons, real-life stories and a hopeful vision for the future, this is an essential read for anyone passionate about regeneration, leadership, housing, local government or creating places where people can truly belong.
What is inclusive growth?
It’s growth that everyone can share in, regardless of where they started in life. It’s growth that puts people and place together.
It’s not about the numbers, or the flashy developments. It’s about creating a place where people feel they belong, where they can thrive and can see and feel their lives improving year by year.
The Inclusive Growth Consultancy joins the dots between communities and the corporate world, to craft local, regional, and national strategies that improve people’s lives. We build partnerships between public institutions and private enterprises, using our tried and tested model for growth that includes everyone.
