Book A Concise Guide to Local Economic Development

Download or read book A Concise Guide to Local Economic Development written by Mustapha Bangura and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2012-06 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book outlines some useful guidelines for LED practitioners, development planners, and Local Government Units (LGU) in conducting local resource inventory; in identifying the strengths, weaknesses, threats and opportunities of a local area; and in formulating a strength-based strategy to spur the economic development of an area. The development of the local economy in a decentralized system is a crucial and all-embracing process which justifies the need for close connection between local government authorities and other local development partners. The book demonstrates how to draw from the different development actors in a local area and weave that into the economic development process of the area. The expected role of key stakeholders in LED planning is well articulated and a framework of LED planning is also presented. The book also demonstrates the nexus between LED planning and spatial planning, which reminds development planners that development planning entails both physical and sectoral planning. This means a municipality should have a comprehensive land use plan that would complement its development efforts.

Book The Affordable City

Download or read book The Affordable City written by Shane Phillips and published by Island Press. This book was released on 2020-09-15 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Los Angeles to Boston and Chicago to Miami, US cities are struggling to address the twin crises of high housing costs and household instability. Debates over the appropriate course of action have been defined by two poles: building more housing or enacting stronger tenant protections. These options are often treated as mutually exclusive, with support for one implying opposition to the other. Shane Phillips believes that effectively tackling the housing crisis requires that cities support both tenant protections and housing abundance. He offers readers more than 50 policy recommendations, beginning with a set of principles and general recommendations that should apply to all housing policy. The remaining recommendations are organized by what he calls the Three S’s of Supply, Stability, and Subsidy. Phillips makes a moral and economic case for why each is essential and recommendations for making them work together. There is no single solution to the housing crisis—it will require a comprehensive approach backed by strong, diverse coalitions. The Affordable City is an essential tool for professionals and advocates working to improve affordability and increase community resilience through local action.
