Place-based change is an approach to social policy, community development and public services that focuses on outcomes in a specific geographical area by addressing local needs. It can be used in fields such as education, public health, social mobility and urban planning, particularly in areas or persistent disadvantage and socio-economic deprivation.

Place-based change initiatives aim to deliver long-term improvements to defined locations, such as neighbourhoods, towns, cities and regions. Taking into account that complex social challenges (for example, poverty, low educational attainment and poor health outcomes) are often concentrated in geographical areas that are shaped by local conditions. Lupton, Ruth (2014). Neighbourhood effects and policy (Report). Joseph Rowntree Foundation.

By joining together local stakeholders such as local authorities, schools, community partners, social services, healthcare providers and residents often using a collective impact approach, place-based initiatives see to create sustainable systems change that reflects the unique characteristics of the area.
