Perlmutter, Felice Davidson.
Community Development as a Public Sector Agenda [electronic resource] / Felice Davidson Perlmutter PhD &Ram A. Cnaan PhD. - pp. 57-77.
This paper documents how one Department of Recreation in a large city underwent a planned change effort which transformed some 200 site managers into active community organizers. Based on the philosophy of a very dynamic new commissioner (a former community organizer), city employees enhanced local civic participation and forged a partnership between the public and private sectors as well as with local residents. The paper presents the guiding philosophy, implementation steps, an assessment of the impact of the change, and a discussion of the potential of such a process which can be adopted nationwide.
