Sustainable communities are those that enhance rather than deplete the resources they depend upon. These critical resources are the natural, social, and economic systems that a community needs for its survival. Commonwealth Sustainability Works provides consultation and support to organizations and individuals who are trying to protect or improve these systems. We help clients develop local strengths and create policies and practices that enable people to thrive while enhancing necessary resources.

Key characteristics of a sustainable community include the following:

  • Biodiversity Protected
  • Civic Engagement Encouraged
  • Diverse Economic Base
  • Diverse Housing Supply
  • Food Security and Local Agriculture
  • Great Public Spaces of all Sizes
  • Invest in Renewable Energy
  • Natural Resource Use Minimized
  • Mixed-Use, Walkable Urban Neighborhoods
  • Preservation of Rural Land
  • Preserve and Enhance Local Character
  • Transportation Alternatives
  • Urban Re-Development
  • Water Conservation

Commonwealth Sustainability Works and its partners can help you to design and implement projects and policies that address any of these issues.
