Sustainable Community
Sustainable communities are communities planned, built, or modified to promote sustainable living. This may include sustainability aspects relating to equality, water, transportation, energy, and waste and materials. They tend to focus on environmental sustainability (including development and agriculture) and economic sustainability. Sustainable communities should focus on sustainable urban infrastructure, social equity, and sustainable municipal infrastructure. The intersection of all three areas of sustainability, economy, environment, and equity, are necessary to the creations of a sustainable community.

Famous quotes containing the word community:
“As blacks, we need not be afraid that encouraging moral development, a conscience and guilt will prevent social action. Black children without the ability to feel a normal amount of guilt will victimize their parents, relatives and community first. They are unlikely to be involved in social action to improve the black community. Their self-centered personalities will cause them to look out for themselves without concern for others, black or white.”
—James P. Comer (20th century)
