Social & Cultural
A community is only as good as the quality of life it offers. Economic and environmental sustainability are meaningless without social sustainability. Social sustainability includes support systems to assist people in their personal development and care. Adequate education, health care, wellness programs, and family support builds strong communities. Strong communities build strong businesses, and a healthy economy provides the resources to ensure environmental stewardship. Furthermore, social sustainability relates to cultural programs, sports and recreation, the arts, and support of intercultural connections.
