The white paper is an introductory guide to raise awareness of Community Wealth Building in Aotearoa and to encourage cities, regions, individuals, and organisations to work together to apply these principles and strategies. The paper explores the principles of Community Wealth Building, outlines the five pillars with case studies of how it has worked internationally and in Aotearoa New Zealand, identifies common challenges, and shares what people can do to get Community Wealth Building started in their area.

About Community Wealth Building
Community Wealth Building offers Aotearoa New Zealand an approach to economic development that leads to more prosperous, equitable, sustainable, and resilient local economies and communities. At its heart it puts people back at the centre of local economies. It ensures wealth generated in a local economy is held and invested back into that local economy, and puts control and benefits into the hands of local people.
