Description
It is increasingly recognised that instead of relying on top-down commands or leaving individuals to their own devices, communities should be given a role in tackling challenges exacerbated by global crises.
Written by a team of leading experts with in-depth knowledge and on-the-ground experience, this book sets out why and how people’s lives can be positively transformed through diverse forms of community involvement.
This book critically explores examples from around the world of how communities can become more collaborative and resilient in dealing with the problems they face, and provides an invaluable guide to what a holistic policy agenda for community-based transformation should encompass.

Media Reviews
“‘Bowling alone’ will not help our communities succeed in addressing major challenges from climate change to COVID-19 and beyond. Yet, what is the alternative? Tomorrow’s Communities breaks new ground in showing how we can create community-based transformation with practical, evidence-based policies that should receive serious consideration from policy makers.” Thom Brooks, Dean, Durham Law School and Director, Labour Academic Network
