What is a durable economy? It is one that not only survives, it thrives. How is it created, and what does it take to sustain over time? Sustainable Communities provides insight and answers to these questions.

The book addresses some of the most pressing issues challenging communities in their efforts to foster better quality-of-life outcomes and long-term sustainability. Using the remarkable story of Burlington, Vermont's rise to award-winning status, it explores aspects of community planning including social enterprise development, the balance of energy and environment with development demands, the incorporation of food systems and cultural well-being with community development, along with presenting strategies and lessons learned.

Aimed at policymakers, development practitioners and citizen activists, this book provides a framework for understanding various influences on a community's economy. These include locally-focused, social, cultural, environmentally sustainable, political and inclusive economy components. Taken together, these components can lead to the formation of a durable, local economy. It is hoped that this story will inspire others to explore what can be done in the name of community economic development.
