{"product_id":"community-strategic-visioning-programs-norman-walzer-9780275955045","title":"Community Strategic Visioning Programs","description":"Community visioning and strategic planning programs have become increasingly important in recent years as local governments in rural areas have searched for innovative ways to revitalize their local economies or manage population growth. A panel of experts describes local government programs in ten states. They also evaluate the effectiveness in reaching the vision and objective set forth in these programs. The authors examine the main components of each program and offer insights into factors contributing to its success. Major attention is paid to the need for social capital, benchmarking, and continuing support following the initial efforts. The discussion in the book includes recommendations for starting a community strategic visioning exercise.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Norman Walzer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0275955044\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780275955045\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Praeger\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/24\/1996\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.16lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.69d","brand":"Norman Walzer","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47001115197695,"sku":"9780275955045","price":95.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_56cc0ff1-8a89-4022-b8c3-0d7db92afde2.jpg?v=1751600109","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/community-strategic-visioning-programs-norman-walzer-9780275955045","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
