Community Wealth Building puts people back at the center of local economies by ensuring wealth generated in a local economy is held and invested back into that area, and puts control and benefits into the hands of local people. Community Wealth Building has been used successfully overseas where it has transformed cities such as Cleveland in the United States and Preston in the United Kingdom, and indigenous communities in the US and Canada (such as the Lakota of Pine Ridge Reservation). The purpose of this report is to raise awareness of Community Wealth Building in Aotearoa New Zealand and to encourage cities, regions, individuals, and organisations to work together to apply these principles and strategies.
