What makes New England a healthy regional community?
Is it community development, the economy, urban sprawl, environmental
health and/or smart
growth? As you consider what it takes to
gain the interest of
people in local, regional, ethnic and/or cultural communities you might
also compare those communities in and around regions across countries
and then perhaps to global regions. |
