Community movements are founded on cooperation and inclusivity, yet focusing only on internal collaboration and inclusivity risks fostering collectivism. Moreover, government and local government policies and regulations could create tension. Thus, there are inherent challenges to address in forming and advancing communities. This lecture explores the typical conflicts arising from community movements. Through the lens of tension between cooperation and inclusivity, autonomy, and institutionalisation, this lecture delves into the history of communal childcare movements. It proposes the direction for community movements in a mobility society.
