Communities have practiced strategic planning for decades using a
variety of tools and programs based on the initial Take Charge
programs of the early 1990s. These efforts generated a large amount
of research regarding their effectiveness, as well as ways to
measure long-term outcomes and other related issues, in efforts to
better understand the process of community change. This book
provides contributions written by researchers and practitioners
describing both visioning and other strategic planning efforts. The
Great Recession challenged the future of many small and medium
sized cities, especially in non-metropolitan areas, renewing the
interests of community leaders and elected officials in finding
innovative ways to revitalize their local employment base and
economic opportunities. Having access to a collection of best
practices and successful approaches can greatly assist these
practitioners in selecting strategies and techniques for use in
their community efforts. The material in this book is especially
useful because it includes both methodologies as well as case
studies of how and why various approaches used in alternative
cultural settings have succeeded. This book was originally
published as a special issue of Community Development.
