How do we create employment, grow businesses, and build greater
economic resilience in our low-income communities? How do we create
economic development for everyone, everywhere - including rural
towns, inner-city neighborhoods, aging suburbs, and regions such as
Appalachia, American Indian reservations, the Mexican border, and
the Mississippi Delta - and not just in elite communities? Economic
Development for Everyone collects, organizes, and reviews much of
the current research available on creating economic development in
low-income communities. Part I offers an overview of the harsh
realities facing low-income communities in the US today; their many
economic and social challenges; debates on whether to try reviving
local economies vs. relocating residents; and current trends in
economic development that emphasize high-tech industry and high
levels of human capital. Part II organizes the sprawling literature
of applied economic development research into a practical framework
of five dynamic dimensions: empower your residents: begin with
basic education; enhance your community: build on existing assets;
encourage your entrepreneurs; diversify your economy; and sustain
your development. This book, assembled and presented in a unified
framework, will be invaluable for students and new researchers of
economic development in low-income communities, and will offer new
perspectives for established researchers, professional economic
developers and planners, and public officials. Development
practitioners and community leaders will also find new ideas and
opportunities, along with a broad view on how the many complex
parts of economic development interconnect.
