Many communities are finding the
issue of how to grow a divisive one. This film offers an alternative
to the discord and stalemate that too often occurs over how to
approach change as a community - "consensus building." Speaking in
their own words, community officials, concerned citizens, and
developers of smart growth and revitalization projects discuss how
difficult issues can be approached collaboratively to find successful
paths for change, using principles discussed by consensus-building
experts. Included is a written guide to using the film to spur
community discussion about how to approach growth challenges.
