The Localism Movement

The Localism Movement emphasizes strengthening local communities by encouraging local decision-making, businesses, and services rather than relying heavily on centralized authorities or national systems. It aims to foster local economies, promote sustainable development, and build social cohesion by supporting local resources, encouraging community participation, and reducing dependency on external influences. The movement advocates for residents to have greater control over their environment and infrastructure, ultimately promoting resilience, sustainability, and a sense of shared ownership within communities.
