*Initiatives by topic
*Resources, available locally or concerning the locality, including links to more extensive information, calendars, video, maps, infographics, apps for sustainability, social media links, research, funding information, etc.
*News and comment, or timeline information. Brief or headline type summaries with links to sources.
*More localised information, for example within a page about a country there may some further information about cities within that country.


The current list of proposed place articles is on [[Sustainable community action/places merge log]]. An example of a fairly extensively developed sustainable community action place article is [[Bristol]], but of course place articles can be started off with just 2 or 3 items of relevant information.
