place based vs person based community development
just passing this on.. anyone reading this blog ought to read this blog post by Randall Crane who is a professor of planning at the UCLA School of Public Affairs on the state of what we know about:
place based vs person based community development.
I of course appreciate his reference back to some more historical research on this, in particular Lou Winnick's 1966 essay, "Place Prosperity vs. People Prosperity", but I also need to mention Ed Hoover's prognosis for Pittsburgh a few years before that:
place based vs person based community development.

...the Pittsburgh region's future depends to such a major extent upon retaining and attracting highly qualified and professional and technical people and business enterprisers, who are in demand everywhere and who command a high standard of residential amenity and cultural and professional opportunities.This all comes from Region With a Future. Volume 3 of the Economic Study of the Pittsburgh Region. Produced by the Pittsburgh Regional Planning Association. Edgar Hoover, Study Director. Published by the University of Pittsburgh Press. 1964.
