Rezensionen

"The book's success stories can provide fresh thinking and motivation to a new generation of community development practitioners." (David P. Varady, Housing Studies, Vol. 34 (7), 2019)
"Navigating Community Development: Harnessing Comparative Advantages to Create Strategic Partnerships offers a road map for building strong and healthy communities in this era of escalating income and wealth inequality, declining public funding, and intensifying competition for development resources. ... Navigating is a valuable addition to the community development literature and a compelling invitation for more theory, guidance, and support for community development practice." (Laurie S. Goldman, Journal of Urban Affairs, 2015)
