This cutting-edge text explores the intersection of CED and social work practice, which both focus on the well-being of indigent communities and the empowerment of individuals and the communities in which they live. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis unique textbook emphasizes a holistic approach to community building that combines business and real-estate development with a focus on stimulating family self-reliance and community empowerment. The result is an innovative approach to rehabilitating communities in decline while preserving resident demographics. The authors delve deep into the social, political, human, and financial capital involved in effecting change and how race and regional issues can complicate approaches and outcomes. Throughout, they integrate case examples to illustrate their strategies and conclude with a consideration of the critical role social workers can play in developing CED's next phase.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Steven Soifer, Joseph McNeely, Cathy Costa\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0231133952\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780231133951\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Columbia University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/11\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 584\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.16lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 1.15d","brand":"Steven Soifer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43981516472575,"sku":"9780231133951","price":42.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_63e50348-4926-4ebe-9917-5262f990526e.jpg?v=1683256044","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/community-economic-development-in-social-steven-soifer-9780231133951","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
