Commercial / Economic Renewal

Your community's revitalization must obviously address the renewal of your commercial activities, but this means more than the usual "economic development" strategies based on wooing employers with incentives.  Your economy relates to virtually all aspects of your natural, built, and socioeconomic environments, as well as economic growth and industrial policies, strategies and plans related to commercial districts, entrepreneurial support services, etc.

Thus, it's essential that all three renewal rules--rewealth, integration, & engagement--guide your commercial and economic decisions, so as to bring them into alignment with your overall goal of rapid, resilient renewal.  You should engage commercial leaders in the renewal of all 12 sectors of restorable assets, and in all three solution-generating processes of your renewal engine: visioning, culturing, and partnering.
