“Human beings need community. If there are no communities available for constructive ends, there will be destructive, murderous communities... Only the social sector, that is, the nongovernmental, nonprofit organization, can create what we now need, communities for citizens... What the dawning 21st century needs above all is equally explosive growth of the nonprofit social sector in building communities in the newly dominant social environment, the city.” IfsNeedsHumansEndsSocialGrowthCommunityHuman BeingsCitiesEnvironmentCenturyBuildingCitizensOrganizationAvailableDestructiveDominant21st CenturyConstructiveExplosivesNonprofitsSocial EnvironmentBuilding Community Author:Peter Drucker
