description: Local economic development planning - involving cooperation between communities, local authorities, labour organizations and the private sector - has now replaced other town and regional planning approaches in many parts of the world. A central question is whether such initiatives can mobilize the public, private and community-based resources needed to expand employment, enhance the local tax base and alleviate poverty. This wide-ranging book draws on experiences of local economic planning in many parts of the world, particularly North American cities, and applies the lessons learned to the new situation of urban regeneration in South Africa.
