Community Wealth Building Overview:\u00a0 <\/strong>The League has spent recent years pulling together threads from our past placemaking work into the concept of building community wealth. This model balances economic prosperity, sense of place, natural assets, and cultural substance. It also considers the importance of the safety, health, and well-being of our residents, as well as the ongoing process of learning over time. This model takes into account the human experience in our Michigan communities. Every community has a different context \u2013 and we want to know what yours is doing to improve the human experience and build trust and belonging among your community members.
