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.
