Gueron -- Conclusion: social science research, urban problems, and community development alliances / Ronald F. Ferguson. "Can community development actually help solve long-standing urban problems? And, based on social science analyses, what kinds of initiatives can make a difference?" "This book surveys what we currently know and what we need to know about community development's past, current, and potential contributions. The authors - economists, sociologists, political scientists, and a historian - define community development broadly to include all capacity building (including social, intellectual, physical, financial, and political assets) aimed at improving the quality of life in low- to moderate-income neighborhoods. The book addresses the history of urban development strategies, the politics of resource allocation, business and work force development, housing, community development corporations, informal social organizations, schooling, and public security."--Jacket.
