There is growing recognition in practice and policy of how networking
contributes to the vitality and cohesion of community life and civil
society. The Well-Connected Community provides theoretical insights and
practical guidance for people working with and for communities. This
updated edition takes account of the changing political and economic
context, including rising social inequalities and community tensions. It
considers new approaches to well being, such as social prescribing and
the use of social media for local and global organising. This model of
community development explains and promotes networking as a skilled and
strategic intervention and provides recommendations for good practice.
