The paper offers further conceptual development of the role of intermediaries in grassroots niche building. It introduces a multi-level, process-oriented framework which is informed by strategic niche management and social capital theory. The empirical part explores the emergence of community-led housing in England as a grassroots-based housing niche which operates in a context of market dysfunction.
