Description
Community Wealth Building (CWB) is an exciting new model and practice of economic development that is fast growing within the United States as well as many places across the world. CWB focuses on rewiring wealth and investment flows to build an economy that is inclusive, resilient, and equitable by design. It does so by supporting communities to have greater ownership and control of local assets so that the wealth they create benefits all who live there. By developing more just and equitable local economies, CWB helps to nurture healthy and thriving communities that produce positive upstream social conditions and outcomes as a matter of course.
