Regional Communities-Greater Communities: "Community Motive"→"Think local planet, act regionally."

tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19560539Thu, 23 Feb 2012 04:36:26 +0000RCDNewsRegional Communities-Greater Communities: "Community Motive"→"Think local planet, act regionally.""Think local planet, act regionally" balances: "Think globally, act locally." More and more, it takes a region, a "community of communities" to solve problems experienced locally. This blog is an exploration of emerging “regional communities.” "Community precedes cooperation." This is my thesis. It is the "community motive" I posit,which balances the lesser "profit motive." "Regional Community Development News" is collected here as a resource for the needed age of human unity and cooperation.http://regional-communities.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.com (Tom Christoffel)Blogger211125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19560539.post-6466727111090893354Thu, 23 Feb 2012 04:31:00 +00002012-02-22T23:36:26.293-05:008th Mid-Atlantic Regional Planning Roundtable - March 30, 2012 - Arlington, Virginia Working Draft Agenda 2/22/2012Registration Now Open 8th Mid-Atlantic RegionalPlanning Roundtable Real World Challenges: Water, Energy and Transportation Intergovernmental Planning to Solve Complex Problems March 30, 2012 – Arlington, Virginia For: Planners and Elected and Appointed Officials, Business Persons and CitizensCo-sponsored by: Regional and Intergovernmental Planning Division, http://regional-communities.blogspot.com/2012/02/8th-mid-atlantic-regional-planning.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Tom Christoffel)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19560539.post-3275483134732472349Tue, 21 Feb 2012 06:54:00 +00002012-02-21T01:54:56.428-05:00Regional/Greater Community Development News – February 20, 2012<!--[if gte mso 9]>http://regional-communities.blogspot.com/2011/12/regional-community-development-news_20.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Tom Christoffel)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19560539.post-6905412085862375178Tue, 20 Dec 2011 03:39:00 +00002011-12-19T22:39:02.816-05:00Regional Excellence - Regional Governance: Thai Style Regional Excellence Regional Governance: Thai Style by Bill DodgeDecember 16, 2011 The Kingdom of Thailand practices governance with some unusual twists, some of which offer intriguing models for regional governance in the states.
