Capacity is the ability of people residing in a place to mobilize their assets and resources to cope with stress and transition, or to capitalize on opportunities. Such capacity is built from trust and relationships grounded in institutions, organizations, businesses, and services alike. The Initiative on the New Economy is built on four key themes to explore capacity including local governance, communications, services, and the environment . This report explores the relationship between services and capacity. The Services Research theme conducted site profile surveys in the summer of 2005.
