There is growing recognition in practice and policy of how networking contributes to the vitality and cohesion of community life and civil society. This updated edition of The Well-Connected Community provides theoretical insights and practical guidance for people working with and for communities, while taking account of changing political and economic contexts, including rising social inequalities and community tensions. Gilchrist considers new approaches to wellbeing, such as the use of social media for local and global organising. This model of community development explains and promotes networking as a skilled and strategic intervention and provides recommendations for good practice.
