Summary

In Community Economic Development and Social Work, you'll find innovative theoretical approaches to the newly emerging field of community economic development (CED). You'll see how community leaders, residents, community organizations, social workers, city planners, local business owners, bankers, and/or investors can come together to promote successful CED. The variety of models and case studies in Community Economic Development and Social Work gives you practical ideas for effective economic development—development that empowers residents to break the cycle of poverty and offers hope and opportunity for the future—in low-income and minority communities.
