Sustainability planning and collaboration in rural Canada : taking the next steps / Lars K. Hallström [and three others].

Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

Rural communities, often the first indicators of economic downturns, play an important role in planning for development and sustainability. Increasingly, these communities are compelled to reimagine the paths that lead not only to economic success, but also to the cultural, social, environmental, and institutional pillars of sustainability. As the contributors to this volume demonstrate, there are many examples of such innovation and creativity, and many communities that seek out new ways to build the collaboration, capacity, and autonomy necessary to survive and flourish.Contributors: Don Alexander, Kirstine Baccar, Michael Barr, Mary A.
