Building Stronger Communities: Connecting Research, Policy and Practice

Governments at all levels all over the world are committed to strengthening communities - that is, improving neighbourliness, mutual support and economic activity in the largest cities and the smallest rural settlements. In this book, researchers, policy-makers and practitioners from Europe, the USA and Australia demonstrate, in a wide variety of settings, how they have developed new initiatives to strengthen communities, concentrating particularly on the role of education and training.
