Practice and Assessment
Abstract
Community development is a wide-ranging discipline that encompasses economic development. Community development is a process where, ideally, many residents are involved in the process of community change and improvement. Success in community development leads to more success in economic development. A set of values and beliefs and ethical standards have been developed that guide community development process and practice. Likewise, there are processes that help guide community development assessments. Having a solid and informed assessment helps build the foundation for a successful community and economic development effort.
