Community, Third Edition: The Structure of Belonging

With increasing violence, widening ideological divides, and growing economic inequality, a deeper sense of community is desperately needed. Yet typical ways of engaging people civically and organizationally remain unchanged. In Community, Peter Block explores how authentic community can emerge from fragmentation and offers practical steps to foster transformation.

This updated third edition draws on decades of implementing Block’s ideas and includes the following:

• New stories and examples demonstrating community building as a more powerful approach to social problems than traditional policies and programs • Expanded resources and a discussion guide designed for classroom and training program use • A new closing chapter covering broader implications of the book's ideas for organizational transformation • Fresh content exploring the creative economy's relationship to belonging and social capital’s role in authentic engagement • Updated examples showing how community principles apply to today’s workplace and virtual world challenges
