Bobby Nisha made the concluding remarks by briefing the group on the next steps forward including a tentative timeline for the research project. The next steps involved would be• Preparation of a draft framework for data collection and research based on this workshop’s responses • Conducting a pilot study of the two selected neighbourhoods based on this framework • Preparation of a white paper on the subject of this research project including findings from the pilot study • Application for a research grant based on this white paper The data collection framework was put together based on the insights that arised from the workshop and a following review of relavant literature whose findings will be published. The facilitated sessions provoked lively discussions and resulted in attaining a research framework for the pilot study. The richness of this discussion is hard to capture in a short report. This brief summary reflects on key ideas that emerged from the sessions and then places these in a systematic overview of emerging pilot study. There is real potential in taking the research idea forward to crystallise new ideas and nurture emerging research partnerships.
