This is the fourth edition of Avrom Bendavid-Val's classic book
that has become a standard for practitioners and students of public
administration, urban and regional planning, and regional
economics. Last revised in 1983, the work now provides a
comprehensive practitioner-oriented study of the state of the art
of regional and local economic development planning, with emphasis
on specific project activity arrived at through an analysis of the
regional economic context. The book is written in a straightforward
style, free of technical terms and jargon, and is suitable for
readers without an extensive background in economics, mathematics,
or statistics. In addition, all analytical work is presented in a
form that can be carried out without the use of vast databases or
computers.
Bendavid-Val divides his work into five basic parts, each
covering a different feature or method of analysis and planning.
Part one introduces important aspects of the overall economic and
development context within which the methods of regional analysis
are used. Parts two, three, and four offer an introduction to
common descriptive methods of analysis for use in regional
planning, covering aggregate regional analysis, intraregional
analysis, and project identification and evaluation. Finally, part
five deals with approaches to regional development planning,
providing help in selecting the methods that will be most useful in
a given situation. A selected bibliography concludes the book. This
work contains everything the practitioner or student needs in order
to understand what regional and local economic development is all
about, as well as to acquire the basic analytical skills for
regional development planning, and to design and carry out a
regional development planning process. Public and academic
libraries will find this updated and expanded edition to be a
significant addition to their collections, and for students and
practitioners in regional planning and development, it will be an
essential reference source.
