The ‘doing’ section includes a checklist for sustainable communities; a list of local data sources; suggested numbers to survey in small populations; different survey methods; and ways of communicating the findings by Perry Walker, Julie Lewis, Sanjiv Lingayah and Florian Sommer (New Economics Foundation; Groundwork; Barclays Bank)
