A New "New Normal"?
內容大綱
Communities can thrive and grow, or they can struggle and decline, but what causes these two outcomes? Attracting and nurturing businesses and organizations is essential to creating vibrant economies, successful communities, and a higher quality of life. Political leaders and average community residents should know about economic and community development; shared knowledge and full participation from everyone will ultimately help communities flourish. In Rebooting Local Economies, the authors use their experience helping domestic and global communities prosper to offer a practical guide for others who want to help communities reach their goals and thrive; each chapter gives real-life examples and suggests concrete actions anyone can take within any community. In a constantly changing environment, communities and even larger regions can attain and maintain prosperity through better jobs, public services, and amenities. Chapter 1 explores the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, looking at it through a community and economic development lens and putting it in historical perspective. Change, especially sudden change, can be difficult.. The phrase new normal is being used to describe how society has changed long-term due to the virus; the validity of this idea is discussed by looking at generational impacts, economic impacts, and how the structure of jobs has changed. Some pandemic-related changes will probably continue, and these changes can offer both challenges and opportunities for communities. For example, COVID-19 increased the rate of people moving out of big cities; this shift could be beneficial or not depending on how companies and communities react.
