Community Organizing
Building Social Capital as a Development Strategy


Other Titles in:
Planning (General)

July 1998 | 206 pages | SAGE Publications, Inc
This book provides new insights into an important national community development challenge: how to stimulate the formation of genuinely community-based organizations and effective citizen action in neighbourhoods that have not spawned these efforts spontaneously.

Using evaluation research and detailed comparative study of community development activity in three diverse demonstration sites; Little Rock, New Orleans and Palm Beach county, the authors identify key elements of building social capital which strongly affect community development.
