How do we build Community Wealth?
28 October 2021 - 7:30 pm - 8:30 pm
Context
A new model of economic development, called Community Wealth Building (CWB), is emerging in cities and communities all over Europe. These cities are challenging the dominant economic system that puts private capital accumulation above the basic needs of people. Local policymakers are building collaborative, inclusive, and locally controlled economies.
During this event, we will explore the concept of CWB and discuss how local authorities can implement these ideas in their own cities. This webinar is part of the project Cities as Places of Hope, that highlights inspiring examples of progressive cities across Europe which are the frontrunners of the social-ecological transition.
Speakers
- Tom Lloyd Goodwin, Associate Director of the Centre for Local Economic Strategies: Tom is one of the drivers of Community Wealth Building movement in the United Kingdom and will tell us about the ideas of CWB and the way it is being developed in the UK.
- Simion Blom, Councilor of GroenLinks in Amsterdam: Simion will talk about their plans to implement the CWB model in Amsterdam.
