The book concludes with critical issues, such as rural development, inner-city development, youth in community development, health care, public schools, and sustainable development. Key features include: New community development intervention models, using examples from recent events to demonstrate the strengths and challenges of such models Community service-learning activities, providing useful examples and case studies of successful service-learning programs in communities A hierarchy of learning activities and exercises within each chapter, ensuring that students learn how to apply concepts to real-world issues Relevant cases of successful community development interventions, giving students examples of ′best practices′ Major trends, challenges, and prospects for the future in community development, helping students identify key issues and opportunities Instructor Teaching Site: Password-protected resources contain learning modules, developed by the authors, which include exercises and activities which reinforce chapter content, and demonstrate application of concepts in real-life communities.
