The pursuit of sustainable development and smart growth is a main
challenge today in countries around the world. Social capital is an
asset of their territorial communities. It is also a precondition
for national and local policies that aim to better the economic
base and quality of life for all. This change is socially diffused,
economically sustainable over time, and smart in its content. A
significant stock of social capital facilitates such results
because it links into the process of development planning
institutional decision makers and socioeconomic stakeholders who
share trust, solidarity norms, and a community vision. In the last
thirty years, social capital has become a forceful concept in the
social sciences, the subject of many scholarly works and a topic of
keen interest and debate in policy circles. Yet the main focus has
been on defining and measuring social capital, with little
attention given to its value in promoting development policies.
Social Capital in Development Planning updates and advances the
debate on social capital through the analysis of the application of
the concept of social capital to programs for sustainable and smart
socioeconomic development; empirical findings; and a new paradigm
for development planning.
