What is Community Economy? What does it look like?
“Picture this: New houses in the city are largely built with the help of local worker cooperatives. Residents live in housing cooperatives where rent is affordable and stable. Energy cooperatives supply most of the city’s energy. The bookshop on the corner is not ousted by online platforms, but is flourishing and run cooperatively by local residents. Cars or tools are shared through an app, which anyone can become an owner and user of.

Value circulates locally and stays within the community.”
