Community Indicators for Your Community

Real, lasting community change is built around knowing where you are, where you want to be, and whether your efforts are making a difference. Indicators are a necessary ingredient for sustainable change. And the process of selecting community indicators -- who chooses, how they choose, what they choose -- is as important as the data you select.

This is an archive of thoughts I had about indicators and the community indicators movement. Some of the thinking is outdated, and many of the links may have broken over time.

"Greenest Cities" Indicator Sets

Here's a nice round-up of measures of sustainable or "green" cities from a number of sources. It's from Elizabeth Barrette on Gaiatribe, which is a blog "support[ing] the premise that humanity is the part of the biosphere that can think, which gives us the responsibility to care for life and the Earth. Here you'll find discussions of renewable energy, sustainable development, intentional community, nature religions, environmental awareness, and related topics."

The list provided is a quick overview of a number of resources and indicator sets to look at urban sustainability. Take a look, and let me know -- which other resources should have been added to that list?
