nef believes that our town and city centres should be more than just places to shop - they can be places to...
Connect... to people, ideas and landscapes
Be Active... by walking, cycling, playing, gardening,
Take Notice... of the seasons, of the unusual, of the new
Keep Learning... something new, rediscover something old
Give... your time, your skills, your knowledge
These are just some of the ways we think towns and city centres can be different and distinctive. Through the programmes we offer, participants get to plan and take to action their own vision of what the place where they live and work will be like in the future. A place where high well being of residents and visitors is the goal.

HighSt UK
High Street UK is a programme developed and run by nef (the new economics foundation) to help communities design and implement a new kind of town centre programme. nef will develop the programme with a group of representatives from the local business community, resident organisations, statutory agencies, voluntary sector, youth and faith groups. The programme will focus on four main areas: local co-ordination, design, promotion and economic development. All representatives are volunteers and the only criteria for membership is a passion for the place they live and work in.
