"Roland Anglin brings his unique vantage point to the topic
his experience as a practitioner and applied academic has allowed him to see how community economic development practices grow over time in size, scale, and impact. He highlights the difference between what is now termed community economic development (CED) and traditional local economic development practice, specifically the priority placed on community involvement in economic development partnerships between the private sector and government. The book includes case studies that demonstrate what has and has not worked in revitalization efforts, as well as how vibrant public and private sector partnerships have been the most effective in revitalization efforts. A Resource Guide is included at the end of the book for readers who want a more expansive understanding of community economic development"--Jacket.
