The national recession forced many communities to examine new and
innovative ways to promote local economic development, resulting in
long-term community changes. New techniques and approaches were
used to identify available opportunities and programs which could
take advantage of development opportunities. A common theme among
the contributions to this book is a focus on building leadership
capacity, and several chapters discuss the successful practices
which are aimed at bringing new leaders into local development
efforts. Especially important are ways to identify youth and young
adults, and designing programs that bring them into active
leadership roles within community development efforts. On a broader
scale, several authors present material regarding building local
entrepreneurship capacity, and recognizing that entrepreneurs at
different stages in their development have different training and
support needs. The discussions in this book will help local
policymakers and development practitioners better understand the
various development techniques, and find ways to build capacity
within their community, stimulating development. This information
will be especially useful for groups interested in engaging youth
and populations who, in the past, have not been especially active
in discussions about community and economic development. This book
was originally published as a special issue of Community
Development.
