Community land trusts (CLTs) are a powerful tool for conscious governance and regenerative culture, allowing communities to collectively own and manage land for the benefit of all. By separating land ownership from building ownership, CLTs can preserve long-term affordability, protect community assets, and promote sustainable development. CLTs have evolved to address issues of gentrification, speculation, and environmental degradation. Today, CLTs are being used to steward a variety of community assets, including affordable housing, community gardens, and civic facilities.
