Prosperity in the 21st century will be based on creating and maintaining a sustainable standard of living and a high quality of life for all. To meet this challenge, a new comprehensive model is emerging which embraces economic, social, and environmental responsibility and recognizes the economic value of natural and human capital.

This approach focuses on the most critical building blocks for success — the community and the region. While each community and region is unique, this policymakers’ guidebook examines 15 common principles that should guide an integrated approach to promoting economic vitality and regional partnerships for all communities.

This guidebook will help communities to implement a comprehensive set of principles for building prosperous and livable places. Its ideas take policymakers from “ribbon-cutting to results.”

As communities are devising ways to balance economic development with neighborhood preservation, we are looking for models. This guidebook will be invaluable.
