National CLT Conference, Albuquerque, New Mexico, September 2010
In September 2010, some of us travelled to the four day "National CLT Conference" in Albuquerque, New Mexico, to find out from the experts on what approach works best when starting a CLT from scratch. Dr John Davis, in his interview with Liz Page, shares his experience and some invaluable tips on how to succeed.
According to Dr Davis, the best start for a Community Land Trust is "People Power: People, Education & Empowerment".
