There is increasing awareness among practitioners, scientists and policymakers around the world about how the future's welfare needs should be resolved. Many point out that better resource-sharing across sectors and areas of expertise is needed1. Many people find that the public sector has distanced itself from the inhabitants, and therefore we need to strengthen society's democratic values. Stronger democratic links require that we, to a greater extent than what has been usual, view the municipality as a place – not an organization. New solutions must be developed based on the widest possible perception of a common "we" at each place. This handbook goes through some important principles and tips for action for a common route for people from different sectors, industries, voluntary organizations, users of welfare services, and others.
