CL143b Building on the Assets of Your Community

Looking around your neighborhood it is easy to identify its best features: its assets. Often, however, when we talk about why we like our communities, the focus is placed on the development of things you can see: houses, businesses, gardens. The development of human or social capital is just as important to a neighborhood as its physical infrastructure. How can it be built effectively? What role does it play in your community? Participants in this session will analyze the role that individual and organizational capital play in their community’s ability to determine and pursue its own vision for change.
