This important book examines the ways in which community economic development can contribute to local and regional regeneration. It presents a unique overview of the state of contemporary British practice in this important policy area and provides a series of fresh; theoretical; methodological and empirical insights which help us to understand ways in which communities are facing up to the challenges of devising and bringing about their own revitalisation. Community Economic Development is underpinned by the argument that much conventional regeneration work represents at best a short-term fix rather than a long-term sustainable solution to the problems of socially excluded communities. The emphasis of the book is largely on the British experience with contributions from a rich mix of new and established academics and practitioners.

A wonderful work about an often overlooked regionBy Dylan SargentThis book contains some wonderful photos of structures that may otherwise remain unseen by the majority of the worlds citizens. Brumfield focuses on some of the smallest towns and villages in the Russian North; and takes the reader on a tour of the hidden gems within a vast and relatively sparse territory - all without the need to dig your own UAZIK out of the mud. The narrative through the book is interesting and dynamic - rich with historical detail; and with occasional personal anecdotes about the inevitably unconventional journey taken.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Reallly beautiful!By StardustfawnMy husband and sons were entranced to see how some of these churches made of wood have lasted for centuries.
