The Natural Step is a great piece of art for community development with great strategies ...By DanielThe Natural Step is a great piece of art for community development with great strategies that I enjoyed pretty much; and which helped as a very useful and enriching reference for me to elaborate a particular model about a Local Sustainable Development; From The Communities and Municipalities of Chile; a model to share and help communities to organize themselves initiating and growing Community Cooperatives for self-employment and lowering local market costs for everyone locally; developing projects with an open planning system guidance to re-establish The Common Good through Community Cooperatives and Community Capitals; like investment platforms as financial starting points.!!!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Surprisingly Delightful BookBy J.H.Bought this book as required reading for my UCLA Extension class called Sustainable Communities. Fantastic class; and fantastic book. Whether youre new or advanced in sustainability practices; this is a book that keeps on giving. Theres a plethora of great examples from communities (mostly in Sweden) that exhibit sustainable practices and used the tools of the Natural Step Framework to bail themselves out of some pretty bad situations. I also purchased The Natural Step for Business (for another class) and it was also good; but I feel The Natural Step for Communities gives you an even better systems perspective of this method and how best to apply it in the real world.My one criticism is that I wish there were a greater geographical variety of communities discussed in this book. Since The Natural Step was created in Sweden; it makes sense that it has had the most prevalent impact there. As such; many of the communities discussed are Swedish and at the end of each chapter examples from around the world are given in a concluding paragraph. I think an updated version using fleshed-out international examples would benefit the readers of this book; but honestly you cant go wrong with the version as is.As with anything in sustainability; there is no one size fits all solution. When reading this; use your abstract thinking skills to apply these concepts and methods to communities of different population sizes; geographical expanse; diversity; affluence; and so on. Particularly here in the US; people would do well to give this book a read.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Book reviewBy Chuck @ ASUAlthough I have only began to read this book; I like the direction that it is going. Anyone that is a municipal manager or worker at any level; as well as all that consider themselves green should read this book. Its a small investment for a better world.
