The basis of the collaborative research project, Many Neighbourhoods, One
City (MNOC), is that knowledge from the ‘many neighbourhoods’ should be instrumental in informing the ‘One City’. Whilst many decisions have a city-wide remit and scale, the balance between city governance and neighbourhood governance must periodically be critically examined and rearticulated.
The overarching aim of MNOC is to carry out this rearticulation, and suggest potential redesign of city governance structures to integrate local and community
understanding, knowledge and voice.
