Many Models
There is no one model of what a neighborhood-focused agenda should look like.
This “getting started” guidebook provides concrete approaches for developing neighborhood-focused strategies for improving blighted conditions in inner cities. Geared toward city officials, it presents how-to chapters on correct data gathering, planning stakeholder partnerships, accessing available resources, incorporating agency best practices and implementing community tips.
The reality is that there are not enough resources to fix every problem or address every worthy cause in urban neighborhoods. Among the most important early tasks for city government in setting up neighborhood offices is clarity about the scope of work to be addressed and the role the city will play. What can you fix and what has to be sidelined must be on the table.
We hope you'll find value in this report. We’d love to get a little information from you, which we'll use to notify you about relevant new resources.
