Innovative Community Change Practices

The national recession forced many communities to examine new and innovative ways to promote local economic development, resulting in long-term community changes. This book will help local policymakers and development practitioners better understand the various development techniques, and find ways to build capacity within their community, stimulating development. This information will be especially useful for groups interested in engaging youth and populations who, in the past, have not been especially active in discussions about community and economic development. This book was originally published as a special issue of Community Development.
