Informationen zum Autor By Matthew J. Hanka - Foreword by Sue Ellspermann - Contributions by Trent Engbers; Ramona Harvey; Mohammed Khayum; Helen Rosenberg; Anne Statham and John I. Gilderbloom Klappentext Communities are not static or stationary organisms. They are fluid and dynamic and change over time. The role of community development in the change and transformation of a community is critical to improving and enhancing the quality of life of the community and its residents. This book examines how community development changes a community and why that change matters, while also examining the relationship between community development and social capital. When a community improves its social capital, change can happen because people can leverage their networks to produce better results for themselves. This book also looks at comprehensive community development and collective impact models and several case studies that utilize these models. It also looks at how the transformation and revitalization of a neighborhood through new housing creates opportunities for people everywhere, and how effective placemaking strategies empower diverse groups of people in a community to reimagine their public spaces and the built environment to be more livable, walkable, creative, and sustainable while fostering greater connections with people in their community. Zusammenfassung This book emphasizes the importance of community development in the change and transformation of a community and why that change matters. Community development improves the social capital of a community, and creates new housing opportunities and new places for people that improve and enhance the overall quality of life of the community.
