COMMUNITY VITALITY: FROM ADAPTATION TO TRANSFORMATION

Community Vitality: From Adaptation to Transformation explores key themes related to what makes a community vital while illuminating the importance of the concept in order to inspire and guide critical shifts towards thriving, resilient and sustainable communities. In an era of global climate change, the increasing divide between the wealthy and poor, the overwhelming dependency on digital technology and the Internet, the need for a dialogue on sustainable community planning efforts focused on community vitality has never been stronger. This book is the first publication by Fernweh Press, bringing together researchers and practitioners to explore the key concepts of community vitality.
