Community Development Program
COMMUNITY/ EC DEV reading materials to help prep for masters?
Can you book, journal, or case studies to read? Suggested professional journal subscriptions appreciated too.
I’m wanting to do some summer reading to prep myself for my grad program in community development/ ec dev, but Jane Jacobs’ “Life and Death…” is my only reference.
My current interests include…
– understanding how businesses choose to come to municipailities,
– theories and case studies in how vaious municipalities have attracted business or reinvented their community identity for economic purposes
– revitalizing and reinventing rust belt cities
– AND benefits, strategies, and methods/tools for encouraging small businesses
You should read The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein.
