Stresses that community building starts with the process of locating the assets, skills and capacities of residents, citizens associations, and local institutions. Introduces ways to find and use the gifts and talents of local people; describes how hundreds of groups of local people across the country come together to solve problems on a voluntary basis; describes how local institutions enter into strong community partnerships with each other, as well as with local residents and citizens associations; highlights three ways in which communities can capture and build upon the economic assets that are already in place; summarizes the community-building process and describes briefly the five key steps; and suggests ways in which people and institutions from outside the community can support asset-based community-building activity.
