Community dynamics
“A process for creating sustainable, successful places that promote wellbeing, by understanding what people need from the places they live and work.
Social sustainability combines design of the physical realm with design of the social world –
infrastructure to support social and cultural life,
social amenities, systems for citizen engagement and space for people and places to evolve.”
