The values that shape present-day economic development policies are
often not plainly expressed. This study shows how the use of
nontraditional methods of evaluation can foreground the values that
inform public policy and determine whether or not those values and
the policies that arise from them are in the best interests of the
community that adopts them. The methodology defined in this book
not only provides means for judging the success of failure of
economic development programmes, but also offers tactics for
judging how well policies address needs according to a community's
own value system. The essays in the text establish critical models,
illustrate how such models may be applied and show how evaluations
of a single programme made from the perspectives of differing value
systems lead to different conclusions about the success or failure
of the programme. In doing so, these essays demonstrate the crucial
importance of continuing dialogue between those who make policies
and those who access them. This dynamic collection proposes to
stimulate discussion among scholars, developers and urban
administrators to build awareness of the ways to foster informed
policies and evaluate their outcomes.
