Basketball courts as catalysts for neighborhood development and social change

Basketball courts can serve as catalysts for driving neighborhood development and promoting social change. The London Lions basketball team collaborated with estate developer Mount Anvil to design and build courts across housing estates in London. These courts were created with the community in mind, aiming to bring locals together and encourage young people to be more active and social. By focusing on long-term community impact, the project aims to create spaces that will benefit future generations.
