This book presents five critical dimensions on relationships, institutions, produc-
tion, organisation, and governance from design and systems perspectives for the
systematic transition of unstable and vulnerable communities across the world to
sustainable community systems.
. The first section discusses features of relationships and processes to deepen
cooperation and trust within a community.
. The second section examines institutions within and outside a district to
foster synergy across institutions within a district and to minimise negative
externalities on local communities within a district.
. The third section deals with food production systems that are nature-
friendly, resilient, efficient and sustainable.
. The fourth section discusses the design of producer organisations that can
graduate to become sustainable community enterprise systems.
. The fifth section focuses on community governance that can facilitate
decentralised, participatory, transparent and democratic local governance
systems.
