What Kind of Region ... explores the concept of regional democracy and the hopeful future it might offer us as a region and a country given the moment we are in.
The book also features documentation from our project visiting many of the markets of West Yorkshireand asking people to draw maps of the things they care about in their neighbourhood.
Physical copies of the book are available, online and in the shop, from Colours May Vary in Leeds and The Book Corner in Halifax.
