Abstract

This bibliography identifies a wide range of theories, research, and institutional practices linking ideas of urban community with the processes of urban development. The author argues that urban communities exist in multiple structural forms and that they emerge from the efforts of people embedded in diverse contexts to shape the physical, social, and economic conditions of their environment. Sources reference modern foundations, postmodern perspectives, spatial and social structures (neighborhoods, networks, and organizations), values and ideologies, ethnicity and class, political economy of urban development, citizen participation in planning, environmental design, community development, and community economic development.
