Description
Since the appearance of the first edition in 1990, Planning Local Economic Development has been the foundation for an entire generation of practitioners and academics working in planning and policy development. Written by authors with years of academic, regional and city planning experience, the book has been used widely in graduate economic development, urban studies, non-profit management and public administration courses.
Now thoroughly updated for the challenges of the 21st century, and with new coverage of sustainability, the Fifth Edition explores the theories of local economic development while addressing the issues and opportunities faced by cities, towns and local entities to craft their economic destinies within the global economy. The authors provide a thoroughly up-to-date exploration of planning processes, analytical techniques, and locality, business and human resource development, as well as high-technology and sustainable economic development strategies.
