Building strong, sustainable communities is complicated work requiring buy-in, cooperation, input, and accountability from all stakeholders. This series presents learnings from community development in New England through the experiences of participants in the Boston Fed’s Working Places initiative. Hear people doing this important work describe core elements of successful community building—from collaborative leadership, community engagement, a shared long-term vision, and a commitment to holistic learning, to reimagining flawed policies and practices of the past to spark true systems change.
