First Book from the Office of Research
For crucial insights into how communities can thrive and be sustainable, read this book Community Vitality: From Adaptation to Transformation, a collaboration between Professor Ann Dale, Rob Newell and SSG. The book explores key themes on what makes a community vital, why vitality is important and how vitality helps inspire and guide critical shifts towards thriving, resilient and sustainable communities.
In an era of global climate change, a growing divide between the wealthy and poor, and an 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.
The book is available from the CRC Bookstore for $29.95 CDN.
