Submission History: By Councillor Ruairi Kelly:- "Council recognises that conventional economic growth and extractive models of wealth generation can often leave communities worse off despite the appearance of economic success when viewed through the lens of traditional indicators like GDP. Council welcomes our participation in C40's Thriving Cities initiative which rethinks systems, to foster community led action and new business models, that support all people to access a good life within planetary boundaries. Council further welcomes the inclusion of Community Wealth Building (CWB) as part of the social and economic recovery plans for the city and our involvement in CWB development at the City Region Level. Council believes that a Glasgow CWB strategy is required so that decision-making can be guided by a new people-centred approach to local economic development, which redirects wealth back into the local economy, and places control and benefits into the hands of local people. Council therefore instructs officers to bring a paper to the relevant committee mapping our existing CWB activities and those of our anchor organisation and a strategy to integrate the five principles of CWB as a core part of decision making in the future."
