Urban Community Practice provides an orientation to urban community practice as a core method for all practitioners. Readers will learn a common framework and practical skills for planning and implementing change in communities and organizations. This book emphasizes principles including social and economic justice and empowerment through an examination of racism and other intersecting oppressions, constituent-led change efforts, and an asset-based orientation to practice in urban settings and other social environments.
This textbook is designed for courses that provide the knowledge base and skills needed to conduct community and organizational assessment, including power analysis and use of demographic and other data; development of strategic action plans; and use of partnerships with non-traditional settings, coalitions, and other constituencies to effect social and organizational change.
