It was Local Futures’ eighteenth international conference aimed at catalyzing a new economy that works for both people and planet. Through a lively mix of plenary talks, films, workshops and open space discussions, we looked beyond single-issue approaches and the outdated theater of Left/Right politics to explore the power of systemic change at both the community and policy level.
