“collective efficacy” stems from
a “shared vision, if you will, a
fusion of shared willingness of
residents to intervene and social
trust, a sense of engagement
and ownership of public space.”
Co-Production takes the idea
of building on strengths and
embeds it in the ideas of the
core economy, the need for
partnering between
professionals and clients, and
the new role of clients as co-
producers of outcomes.
