community recovery
Neighborhood bouncing back
Community recovery is the process by which a group of people rebuilds after a disaster, crisis, or period of decline.
The term appears in discussions of natural disasters, economic downturns, and public health emergencies: Community recovery from the hurricane took years.
Recovery encompasses not just physical infrastructure but social bonds, local businesses, and collective morale.
The phrase implies that healing happens collectively rather than individually.
