Abstract

Georgia Southern University faculty member Patsy Kraeger co-authored “Chapter Nine: Establishing Community-based Organizations” in the publication An Introduction to Community Development.


Book Summary: An Introduction to Community Development offers a comprehensive and practical approach to planning for communities. Road-tested in the authors’ own teaching, and through the training they provide for practicing planners and community developers, it enables students to begin making connections between academic study and practical know-how from both private and public sector contexts.
