Hyperlocal - Place Governance in a Fragmented World

The chapters in Hyperlocal explore both the tensions and benefits associated with governing places in an increasingly fragmented-and inequitable-economic landscape. Together they explore the potential of place governance to give stakeholders a structure through which to share ideas, voice concerns, advocate for investments, and co-design strategies with others both inside and outside their place. They also discuss how place governance can serve the interests of some stakeholders over others, in turn exacerbating wealth-based inequities within and across communities. Finally, they highlight innovative financing, organizing, and ownership models for creating and sustaining more effective and inclusive place governance structures.
