* From [[Shared Space Chapter 1 - Reaching for Resilience]]: Clusters share and must be supported and sustained by infrastructure - "quality foundations" - which include a skilled and adaptable workforce, education, capital and advanced physical infrastructure.
* From [[Shared Space Chapter 1 - Reaching for Resilience]]: Social health is a [[determinent | !Indicator | Indicators | measuring | metrics | indicator | indicators | Measured | trends | baseline | status | profile]] of a healthy economy. Healthy communities create stability, create networks of trust, foster learning and networking, and are critical for innovation. They attract [[skilled workers]], who are critical to competitiveness. They are therefore recognised as the "engines of nations," and it is important to develop [[quality of life]] factors and provide social infrastructure. This includes addressing issues such as racial tension, poverty, employment and housing issues, social exclusion. drug abuse and domestic violence.
* From [[Shared Space - Chapter 4 - Supporting Sustenance]]: Safe and clean human habitats comprise the foundation of well being," and are a global social objective based on the [[World Summit on Sustainable Development]] in [[Date::200]], the [[Istanbul Declaration on Human Settlements]] in [[Date::1996]], and [[Agenda 21]] in the [[Rio Declaration on Environment and Development]] in [[Date::1992]]. Statistics show a lack of proper food, shelter, and clothing in Canada, leading to health, social and economic problems.
* From [[Transforming or Reforming Capitalism - Chapter 3 - Lamb "Towards an Economic Theory of Community Economic Development"]]: [[Exportable commodities]] are the basis of export theory, where regional advantages in production and transportation are used, often bolstered through government or external capital subsidies in infrastructure, and the community strengths, such as marketing organizations, credit and transport facilities, are enhanced. Total economic activity is based on exports (basic), with a non-export (non-basic) local economy. Cyclical sensitivities are determined by the elasticity of staples (eg essentials vs luxuries). The community's success is determined by the success of its exports, affected by fall in demand, exhaustion of a natural resource, uncompetitive resource costs or technological change. Transportation development or higher income may result in more (but uneven) export opportunities, bringing new capital.
* From [[503 notes from September 14, 2008]]: new kinds of social infrastructure
* From [[Shared Space - Chapter 3 - Working in the Shared Space]]: The [[Community Foundations of Canada]] launched a civic indicator on the [[Toronto Community Foundation]]'s [[Vital Signs]] project, which measures and grades vitality in common areas and those unique to communities. Funded by the [[J.W. McConnell Family Foundation]], community foundations in Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal, Vancouver, Calgary, Red Deer, Medicine Hat and Waterloo region will use this instrument.
