BUILDING SUSTAINABILITY
Sustainability is the achievement of a social-economic state that allows the safe co-existence of diverse peoples to flourish and perpetuate. Resilience is sustainability’s precursor - a society’s adaptation of the capacity to overcome its foremost social-economic threats, be they social, economic, and/or environmental. A resilient Southeast Queens is one where violence is suppressed, and the lifestyle that causes it is transcended through social and economic development led by an alliance of local stakeholders.
