We are constantly being told that communities are under threat, that we are losing a ‘sense of community’. This book finds that the notion of community in Britain is actually threatened by the very thing intended to protect it; relentless government and third party interventions bent on imposing their own forms of social cohesion on the population. There is no doubt that modern societies, underpinned by a ruthlessly competitive and individualistic economic system, have undermined ties of family, solidarity and commonality. However, when an idea of community is articulated it is almost invariably along conservative and reactionary lines - with unelected spokespersons unquestionably accepted as 'community leaders', and with formal contractual relationships taking the place of 'traditional' social order. The short, punchy articles in this book criticise attempts by the state and other agencies to correct the so-called collapse of communities. This book is for students and citizens looking to get beyond the hysterical rhetoric of the government and media to find out about the real communities of the 21st century.

Books like this which bubble over with the fruits of many people experience and insight add new layers of meaning to (the concept if sustainable development) deepening our understanding of what for me is the most important political challenge of our age-by a very Long way... this timely and important book will be a real inspiration. ' from the foreword by JONATHON PORRITT Community and Sustainable Development is about the future - a future in which people have the resources to meet their needs. This basic message of sustainable development recognises the need to conserve environmental resources, but also to support and build the human resources through which the future will be realised, by ensuring that local people are able to participate in the decisions and activities which affect their living environment. Featuring contributions from many leading figures in the fields of community participation and sustainable development, this book shows how participation can extend democracy, citizenship and accountability. It also considers the role of science and expert knowledge in setting and achieving appropriate goals for development, and describes how participatory initiatives can inspire sustainable action on poverty and social inclusion.

How does a small community, which has very little ability to influence the future, prepare for that future? This is the core question addressed in Communities of the Future. It uses the case study of Suffolk, a small rural county in England, which is affected by the policy of austerity at the national level and the prospect of future resource scarcities at the global level. In the face of these challenges, can a path be found to a better future? The authors believe so. Looking at five key communities in Suffolk in the years to 2030, the authors identify the challenges facing each of those communities in the path to the future and then outline both a positive and a negative future scenario for that community. The purpose of the scenarios is to inspire the reader to build a better future. We may not be able to influence greatly those trends beyond our control, but we can anticipate them and prepare for them. It is up to us to ensure that we get the future we want. It is up to us to build a better future.
