Reports
IGP reports offer innovative thinking in relation to some of the most pressing prosperity problems of our time
A Citizen Prosperity Index for east London
The Citizen Prosperity Index has been produced as part of Prosperity in east London 2021–2031, a 10-year study tracking the prosperity of over 4,000 households in 15 areas of east London where large-scale and longterm urban regeneration is underway. The goal of the study is to investigate how the ‘prosperity gains’ from regeneration investments are shared in and between local communities, with a focus on understanding who is thriving and who is struggling, and whether there are observable differences in levels of prosperity between planned, new neighbourhoods in regeneration areas, and established areas that border regeneration sites.

Rebuilding Prosperity Campaign
Rebuilding prosperity for the 21st century requires new ways of thinking and acting and the kind of vision, commitment and courage that informed the national conversation in the 1940s. The Rebuilding Prosperity Campaign calls on policy-makers from Town and City Halls to Whitehall and from National Assemblies to the Westminster Parliament to engage in a new conversation and to join our campaign for a radical new approach that will create shared prosperity across the country.

Financing Prosperity in East London
The IGP has been working with a number of organisations in East London, including Money Advice and Education (Money A+E), Optimistic Productions/Bank Job Pictures and Research for Action to explore critical alternatives to existing modes and practices of finance. This research examines how community-based forms of financial advice create pathways to prosperity for disadvantaged economic communities, how art can be a form of critical financial education, and evaluates how Covid 19 has impacted the livelihoods of black, asian and minority ethnic communities.
