0.5. What the Review provides

This edition covers three areas:

• The People of Bradford, looks at the demographic and other social and health data and what it tells us about diversity, skills and education, health and social inequalities in Bradford.
• Cultural Participation summarises data about the complex nature of Bradford’s participation in arts and culture, sector assets and funding. 
• The Creative and Visitor economy, reviews existing data on Bradford’s creative economy, visitor economy and how they both impact on the District 

Each contains:

• Overview – for example, an overview of the districts demographics.
• Topics related to the main section – so under The People of Bradford, you’ll find a topic on Health.
• Gaps in the data for a specific area.
• Opportunities for cultural organisations to use the research to develop activities or programmes.
• End notes with links to resources and Appendices so you can find all the relevant data sources and research.

For each Topic, we provide some or all of the following:

• Topic summary
• Headline data
• Key bullet points – in some cases simply be the headline data as a bullet list.

We also suggest how creatives and arts organisations can:

• Embed research data and research priorities into their work.
• Think about working with researchers and public sector organisations to align with priorities around regeneration, community development and social impact.

These will both become increasingly important in the build-up and delivery of BD2025.

Please note that this review is based on existing research, and will in time require updating. Therefore, it should be seen as a ‘living document’ that we hope to be able to update as new information and research is undertaken.
