How do we develop inclusive, engaged communities? In this book experts in community planning review some of the challenges, strategies and solutions, using New Zealand case studies. The needs of specific groups -- whether migrant, the young, elderly or indigenous -- and community ties with local and central government are explored. The Treaty of Waitangi, the influence of feminism and the development of online communities are other aspects that are considered. Importantly, the book provides tools for achieving healthy communities, with strategies to empower their members and ensure they are heard.Freeman, Claire is the author of 'Living Together Towards Inclusive Communities in New Zealand', published 2006 under ISBN 9781877372292 and ISBN 1877372293.
