Megacommunities

How Leaders of Government, Business and Non-Profits Can Tackle Today's Global Challenges Together

by Mark Gerencser, Christopher Kelly, Fernando Napolitano, Reginald Van Lee
Published in 2008

Today, issues that significantly affect all of us - global climate change, rebuilding urban infrastructure, water scarcity, preparing for pandemics, dealing with aging populations - have become key challenges to decision makers in the public sector, private sector, and civil society.

At first glance, these problems seem intractable. But in an era of expanding global networks and interdependence, they cannot be ignored.

Such problems cannot be solved by government, business, or civil society alone. "Megacommunities" is a much-needed action plan for solving today’s most complex problems.

Visit the Megacommunity website for more information on purchashing the book

Read the Center for Creative Leadership's blog posting about megacommunities entitled, "Harnessing the Tri-Sector to Prepare and Respond."
