COMMUNITY INHERITANCE Community-Driven Municipal Model A STRONGER FOUNDATION FOR THE NEXT GENERATION The opportunities lost by previous generations cannot be recovered for them. The living generation can still build stronger foundations for itself and for people who come next. INHERITANCE INCLUDES SHARED ASSETS Community inheritance can include housing, land, water and energy systems, transportation, communications, productive enterprises, knowledge, community capability and accountable democratic structures. BUILD AND PASS FORWARD The pathway is to build, retain, reinvest, protect, improve and pass forward. These outcomes require good governance and evidence. They are an intergenerational direction, not a guarantee.
