GRAPHIC | What (and Who) Makes a Local Economy Ecosystem Work?

THE BUSINESS ALLIANCE FOR LOCAL LIVING ECONOMIES

“In our 17 years working with local economy leaders across the U.S. and Canada, we have collectively identified patterns in the kinds of relationships crucial to their success. Building healthy, equitable local economies isn’t the work of a single leader or organization: it requires local ecosystems of individuals and institutions to come together, understand their relationships to each other, and choose to collaborate. By co-creating strategies these different stakeholders can align and accelerate the positive impact they seek in their local communities.”
