Planning Local Economic Development addresses the dilemma that local governments and community groups face in their endeavour to improve the local economic base and increase the community's control over its own economic destiny. The author describes the theories of economic development and provides the first complete analysis of development at the local level, offering suggestions of how local leaders can improve the economic and employment base of their locale.
