- Summary:
-
"Sustainable development is often viewed as having three imperatives: ecological, economic, and social. A Dynamic Balance illuminates the importance of the social dimension as it examines the links between social capital and sustainable development within the overall context of local community development. Looking at case studies in both Australia and Canada, the contributors draw upon lessons learned to reconnect large urban centres and smaller communities." "A Dynamic Balance is a call for reconciliation and reconnection within and between communities. It makes unique links between two schools of thought, social capital and sustainable community development, showing how both are interdependent and can be mobilized by governments for greater agency in communities everywhere."--BOOK JACKET.
