I have, over the years, give a lot of thought to and given a lot of work on community. In this case, I mean the places people live and work, not on-line communities. I have thought while working, as a Main Street Manager, as director of a regional program coordinating environmental assessments and cleanup to aid redevelopment and reuse of Brownfields properties. We call this “asset-based” development, land and building reuse. It makes a difference, very gradually.
I plan to write about this and other things having to do with community.
