• For a community to function and be sustainable, the basic needs of its residents must be met. A socially sustainable community must have the ability to maintain and build on its own resources and have the resiliency to prevent and/or address problems in the future.

• To be effective and sustainable, both individual and community resources need to be developed and used within the context of four guiding principles - equity, social inclusion and interaction, security, and adaptability.

Vancouver City Council 2005

Asset-Based Community Development

… takes as its starting point the existing assets and strengths of community, particularly the strengths inherent in community based associations and other social networks. It defines assets not just as physical capital assets such as buildings but the distinctive qualities of the environment and the skills of people within the community.

Mathie, A., & Cunningham, G. ( 2003),

Letting people define for themselves what’s special about a place, and what matters about it... That’s the key. Government agencies and large bodies can’t stand this. They want to define things; they want to keep tabs... only ordinary people can make ordinary places matter

Sue Clifford, Common Ground

Co-production

The home base of the economy is the household, the neighbourhood, the community and civil society. That is the economy that co-production seems to rebuild and to reconstruct.

Edgar S Cahn 2006

Public policy can more easily remove misery than augment happiness.

Happiness (2007) Richard Layard

Positive Psychology

• Positive Emotion The Pleasant Life

• Eudaemonic Flow The Good Life

• Using your strengths to create something greater than you are The Meaningful Life

• We would spend less time treating mental illness if we spend more time promoting mental wellness.

Martin Seligman
