Community Capitals

Building Strong, Resilient Communities

By understanding and enhancing seven key capitals—natural, cultural, human, social, political, financial, and built—we empower communities to thrive. Explore our resources, success stories, and tools designed to help community leaders, planners, and residents collaborate effectively and create lasting positive change.
