In Finsbury Park we intend to find ways of living that are based on localised food production, sustainable energy sources, vibrant local economies and an enlivened sense of community, rather than cheap and polluting oil. We will use local resources, local community and local knowledge to achieve this.

our approach
This short 5 minute recording of Rob Hopkins talking at the Prince's Foundation for the Built Environment in 2010 summarises quite well both the transition approach and the way it could impact on our local economy.
get involved
Use the contact form and let us know what you're interested in. We already have groups for food growing, buildings and energy, transport, reskilling and inner transition but others could include: local economies, waste and recycling, the arts, education and training, local government and communications.
the transition ingredients
The steps for setting up a Transition Initiative can be done in any order. In Finsbury Park the steering group was set up in November 2008 and now we are working our way through the list randomly.
Set up a steering group: Establish a core team to drive the project forward during the initial phases
