How do we define social sustainability?
Social sustainability is about strengthening cohesion within our diverse communities. A socially sustainable community allows all members to thrive, while being resilient to climate change, pandemics, and other stresses. In a socially sustainable community, we actively support the capacity of current and future generations to create healthy and liveable communities.
A socially sustainable community puts people first.
