Designed as a practical guide, this new book presents workable programs and plans--from "dressing up" alleys to en­ticing new industry--designed to help citizens and their local officials work together to enrich the quality of com­munity life. Tailored to the conditions of the 1970s and beyond, and based on successful pioneer work tested and demonstrated in other communities, this is a "down-­to-earth" textbook for citizens who wish to improve their community. It shows how all segments of the community can bring themselves together to make a precise appraisal of their assets and lia­bilities, identify and diagnose their local and area problems, collect perti­nent facts, motivate concerted efforts for improvement, and develop sound, coordinated action. For teachers and students of commu­nity development as well as lay persons active in local affairs You and Your Com­munity is the definitive textbook--a product of the author's more than thirty years of successful experience in com­munity and area development.
