This methodology paper outlines the CPI's application in east London, focusing on 15 Lower Layer Super Output Areas across five boroughs undergoing regeneration projects. The CPI features a communitydriven design, citizen scientist data collection, and a multidimensional framework encompassing five key domains: Foundations of Prosperity, Opportunities and Aspirations, Power, Voice and Influence, Belonging, Connections and Leisure, and Health and Healthy Environments. The paper describes the mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative surveys with qualitative research, and details the index construction process, including data treatment, post-stratification weights, and z-score normalisation techniques. This methodology enables individual, local, borough, and city-wide analysis, providing a nuanced understanding of prosperity across different scales. The CPI's potential for global application is discussed, highlighting its adaptability to diverse contexts, as demonstrated by its expansion to Lebanon and Tanzania. The paper examines the implications for policy and practice, emphasising the CPI's value in informing targeted interventions and investment strategies across various sectors. By offering stakeholders a sophisticated tool for understanding and promoting prosperity, the CPI contributes to a broader reconceptualisation of prosperity, aligning measurement practices with communitydefined priorities and well-being. date: 2024-09-02 date_type: published publisher: SSRN - Elsevier official_url: https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=4945628 oa_status: green full_text_type: pub language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green article_type_text: Article verified: verified_manual elements_id: 2311280 lyricists_name: Woodcraft, Saffron lyricists_id: WOODC95 actors_name: Woodcraft, Saffron actors_id: WOODC95 actors_role: owner full_text_status: public publication: SSRN place_of_pub: Amsterdam, The Netherlands pages: 21 citation: Woodcraft, Saffron; Moore, Henrietta L; Tzivanakis, Nikolaus; Melios, Georgios; (2024) East London Citizen Prosperity Index Methodology.
