3.2 Mapping Existing Assets
The community workshops had provided an opportunity to identify existing city strengths and assets. Building on this, the workshop with staff sought to deepen the work of co-mapping and identifying specific existing assets in the city. The staff working across the multiple directorates of the council have extensive knowledge of the city and working relationships with stakeholders. The workshop provided an opportunity to collaboratively take stock of these. Participants were invited to map these to categories underpinned by an Asset Based Community Development approach. Description of Activity: Participants were asked to think about their role/work and through a rapid brainstorm exercise to capture key existing assets informed by where/what/who they are already working with. At table discussions provided an opportunity to share, collate and expand the mapping. In doing so, the groups were asked to further categorise these as mature assets or new shoots.
