This cultural infrastructure plan presents strategies according to three different scales of intervention, which respond to the needs of Ealing's diverse audiences.

Based on analysis of the evidence base, the proposed approach to cultural infrastructure in Ealing considers three scales of intervention, plus borough-wide recommendations.

These categories can be thought of as a spectrum on which the seven towns are positioned, highlighting the varying degrees of cultural accessibility and connectivity within Ealing's places (see page 31). The scales of intervention and what is known about the needs of the places for which each strategy is relevant are described across the following pages.

The culture at your doorstep strategy focuses on towns with high deprivation rate, poor connectivity to the rest of the borough and beyond, and low existing provision of cultural infrastructure.

Certain areas in Ealing have fewer opportunities for cultural consumption and production, such as Northolt and Greenford. When coupled with high levels of severance, it can be difficult for residents in these areas to travel to other places in order to access cultural activities. Inequality and poverty have also increased across Ealing, which impacts some residents' abilities to afford cultural offers.

This strategy will embed culture at a hyper-local scale and provide free or affordable, local spaces for cultural production and consumption.
