In Day 2 of our course, we delve into the Community Capital Framework, examining the varied definitions of 'capital' as proposed by Lewis and Conaty. We'll discuss Roseland's six forms of capital — natural, physical, economic, human, social, and cultural — and their relevance to community planning and development. By analyzing case studies such as Detroit and the Sustainable South Bronx, we will explore how these capital forms manifest in both positive and negative contexts. This session aims to illustrate the interconnections among these capital types and their implications for sustainable communities.
