The Colorado Trust’s Healthy Communities Initiative: Results and Lessons for Comprehensive Community Initiatives
Get PDF· This article summarizes how 29 diverse communities throughout Colorado implemented the Colorado Healthy Communities Initiative (CHCI), which was conceived and funded by The Colorado Trust to engage community residents in the development of locally relevant strategies to improve community health.
· In line with the World Health Organization’s Healthy Cities model, CHCI emphasized (a) inclusive, representative planning; (b) a broad definition of “health”; (c) consensus decision making; and (d) capacity building among local stakeholder groups.
· Communities implemented an array of projects (on average, six per community) that extended well beyond traditional health promotion and disease prevention. The most common action projects focused on community problem solving, civic engagement, and youth development. Many of the grantees established projects or new institutions that had a long-term community impact.
· Key success factors for CHCI included (a) a wellspecified planning model, (b) a planning process facilitated by expert consultants, (c) a unifying “healthy community” vision developed at the beginning of the process by diverse stakeholders, (d) a willingness by stakeholders to work collaboratively to define “key performance areas” and then to implement “action projects” to achieve them, and (e) an appropriate level of funding for implementation ($50,000 per site per year).
· The outcomes and impacts of CHCI might have been improved by better anticipating the requirements for sustaining the energy and work initiated during the planning process.
· At the end of the initiative, CHCI provided the funders with a broader, deeper understanding of the requirements, opportunities, and realities associated with promoting “community health.
Sydney's metropolitan strategy by David Wilmoth / Sydney's metropolitan strategy : a comment by James R. Conner.
No full textThe NSW Government has prepared a metropolitan strategy for the Sydney region, in line with recent efforts by other states to update and upgrade their metropolitan strategies. This strategy includes the third metropolitan plan for Sydney. The 1951 County of Cumberland Plan was a detailed land use plan essentially for the local governments that comprised the Cumberland County Council (1949), and the 1980 Sydney Region Outline Plan was a State government plan dominated by the management ofperipheral urban growth (State Planning Authority 1968). The present metropolitan strategy differs from these, reflecting different economic and social conditions, a different understanding of policy instruments and urban change, and a different legislative and political climate.
The purpose of this paper is to show how the objectives, policies and instruments of the metropolitan strategy reflect these changed conditions. It is not a full exposition of the strategy. Rather, the paper describes the approach taken in developing the strategy, examines planning objectives and policies, and reviews the various instruments available for implementation. The overall strategy consists of a strategy plan for the metropolitan region, a series of policies to guide development in accordance with the plan, and a program of implementation. Unlike its predecessors, it will not be based on a particular population projection, but will aim to accommodate 4.5 million people - about a million more than the present population - by whatever year that threshold is reached. On current trends, this is expected in 2013, a timespan of 25 years.
In his comment on Wilmoth's paper, Conner focusses in turn on the six major pressures on the formulation of the strategy and asks a series of critical questions of each. These are: urban development commitments beyond the current Sydney Region Outline Plan; changed economic and social conditions; local government pressure for regional guidelines; industry concern at possible shortages of land for urban development; environmental issues needing long-term resolution; and the need for major public investment decisions to be guided by long-term strategy. He then asks: how and why is this strategy different from the last? His discussion ranges over the issues of government endorsement and successful implementation, statutory status, population targets, corridor plans, urban consolidation policies, infill programmes, and employment redistribution. He concludes that the new strategy is hopeful, but cautiously quotes the wisdom of Peter Harrison s adage that "the only thing you can be sure of when you've finished the plan is that the real world will not end up looking anything like it".Australian Policy Online (APO)'s Linked Data II project, funded by the Australian Research Council, with partners at the ANU Library, Swinburne University and RMIT.Sydney's metropolitan strategy by David Wilmoth / Sydney's metropolitan strategy : a comment by James R.

Discerning Strange Voices: A review of James Conner, David Scott, and Bonnie Thurston, The Voice of the Stranger
No full textThis is a book review of James Conner, David Scott, and Bonnie Thurston, "The Voice of the Stranger." "The Voice of the Stranger is a compilation of three essays and a Eucharistic homily from the Seventh General Meeting and Conference of the Thomas Merton Society of Great Britain and Ireland, which took place on April 4-6, 2008 at Oakham School, the boarding school that Merton attended in his adolescence. The Voice of the Stranger is only 58 pages and saddle-stitched, making it feel more like an issue of a journal than a book. I will, therefore, use the term "booklet" to describe it. As the title suggests, its central theme is that of "the stranger." Each of the three authors addresses that general theme in a radically different way. There are, however, unifying threads. Each author challenges stereotypical ideas about who is and is not a "stranger," in ways that allow Merton to speak to situations that deeply haunt the world today.
James Conner, OCSO, is the author of the first essay, entitled "The Voice of the Stranger: A Manifesto for the 21st Century." The goal of this manifesto, in Conner's mind, is unity.
In the second essay, entitled "Brothers in Prayer and Worship: The Merton/Aziz Correspondence, An Islamic-Christian Dialogue," Bonnie Thurston changes the course of the volume to address interreligious dialogue. Thurston generally introduces the history and content of the fraternal correspondence between Merton and Abdul Aziz (34 letters, ranging from November 1960 until April 1968).
The third essay, "The Poet as Stranger," is David Scott's treatment of a theme that neither of the other authors developed in detail: Merton as stranger. To illustrate Merton's "strangeness," Scott discusses the influences on and content of Merton's poetry (as well as its role in the formation of Merton's faith)
