The Model

This is the model we use and teach with communities. The model gives people in communities a new and sustainable way to move from isolated and fragmented efforts to collaborative and cohesive efforts in building communities that are attractive, affordable, and agile in the 7 core areas of quality of life: learning, housing, food, health care, transportation, public spaces, and economic opportunities.

The four conversations in the middle are community building conversations. The four outside are the shadow conversations that prevent the building of community.
