#Community Development

Lost Valley is a 34-year-old intentional community striving to live responsibly, compassionately, and sustainably with each other, the land, and our greater earth community 🌎 We are all working together to co-create a personally satisfying, service-oriented, inter-generational community that works to become conscious of our impacts on each other and our environment, and therefore ourselves and our collective future. #ecovillage #permaculture #intentionalcommunity #naturalbuilding #community #eugene #eugeneoregon #cobbuilding #organic #sustainability #organicgardening

DAY 71/101: Community Building is a “slow” process and that’s a good thing.

Cully Green feels like an oasis: shaded by trees and full of common spaces. Residents live independently in their own homes, yet the design naturally fosters connection. It even includes multiple permanently affordable units. This wasn’t built by a nonprofit, but by community-oriented developer Eli Spevak in Portland, Oregon. It’s proof that permissive zoning doesn’t have to lead to large, characterless projects. In can empower small local, incremental developers to create places that feel alive. If you want to see examples like this in person, consider joining a field trip with the Incremental Development Alliance. @incrementaldev ❤️ #IncrementalDevelopment #PocketNeighborhood #CommunityDevelopment #SmallScaleDeveloper

Welcome to a new series on how to get projects started even if you don’t have the money to do it. Before you raise financial capital, you need to raise social capital. Whether the money is lined up or not, you won’t build good things in the places that need it most without understanding the community and what it actually needs. #NeighborhoodEvolution #TownMaking #SocialCapital #IncrementalDevelopment #CommunityFirst

how to build a real community

for the millionth time, i love urban planning and the impact that GOOD planning can have on the places we love . . . #urbanplanning #urbanism #builtenvironment #urbanplanner #cityplanning #seeyourcity

May everything that we do be part of our individual and community-wide r e v o l t. As we make calls, demand a stop to w a r, p r o t e s t online, p r o t e s t offline—we can also d i v e s t from big banks that fund w a r, shop local, thrift, repair, share, help our neighbors, learn essential skills, teach essential skills, start a garden, join a CSA, create and join co-ops. We can d i v e s t by investing in our people, our local, and global, people. Protect one another. Love one another. Support one another. Lean into community. To be in a village, we have to be villagers. Be a villager.

IMO everyone talks about “building community” but very few people are actually doing that. @colinandsamir
