• The Community Capital Compass process for navigating complex situations involving everything from municipal services and land-use planning to housing and climate change


• Elaboration of collaborative governance, community mobilization, public engagement, capacity building, infrastructure, policymaking, and promising practices


• A companion website featuring case studies, profiles, online resources, interactive tools, videos, and more.

Packed with concrete, proven strategies, this "living book" is the go-to guide for sustainable community development. Toward Sustainable Communities is essential reading for current and aspiring professionals, practitioners, policymakers, educators, purpose-driven organizations, engaged citizens, and anyone concerned about their communities and a sustainable future.
