Description
Sustainable Communities: Creating a Durable Local Economy explores how to build an economy that not only survives but thrives. The authors examine the key factors that contribute to a local, sustainable economy, including community planning, social enterprise development, energy and environment, food systems, and cultural well-being.
Through a case study of Burlington, Vermont's remarkable transformation, the book reveals how multiple influences can come together to create a truly sustainable economy. Aimed at policymakers, development practitioners, students, and citizens, Sustainable Communities provides insight into what it takes to sustain an economy over time.
The authors hope that this book will appeal to readers others by sharing their story of community economic development, highlighting the potential for positive change in the name of local economic growth.
