Making spaces for community development cover

Making spaces for community development offers an account of the key changes to the context and practice of community development since the 1970s, told through the experiences and insights of a group of highly experienced practitioners. The book, intended for those practising and interested in practising community development today, focuses on dilemmas arising from the shift to partnership working from a more confrontational model, and the professionalisation of the field. Bringing together a wealth of experience and knowledge from across areas of play and youth work through to the environment, community enterprise, race equality, immigration and housing, the book raises key questions for contemporary debates and current practice.

"Distinctive, thought-provoking and well written." Beth Longstaff, Community Development Exchange
"The strengths of this book lie in the reflections from experienced practitioners that raise key questions for contemporary debates and for current practice." Professor Marj Mayo, Goldsmiths College
