The Civic Process -

The model for engaging communities in the work of the community has, like everything else, changed dramatically.  Most communities are struggling with this process, we as a country are struggling with this process, this piece from Ed Morrison, offers some interesting insights on the model they are working on...

- Agile strategies for sustainable development -

"In an industrial economy, metrics (and the impulse to measure everyone by the same yardstick, e.g., jobs) emphasize control and undercut experimentation. In a sustainable economy -- an economy reliant on flexible, adaptive networks -- metrics provide a critical tool for learning and evaluation to figure out "what works". "

"In building sustainable communities, the civic process for developing and launching collaborative investments is what matters."
