Streets of Hope : The Fall and Rise of an Urban Neighborhood

Rating:
Summary: Success story in community development, w/difficult odds
Review: A little too much detail. However, this is an inspiring success story about a community in very bad shape, that turned itself around totally, working "from the inside out". Well known in the field of community development, in my area.

Summary: An inside look at community development
Review: I witnessed much of the transformation described in this book and it is remarkably accurate. This should serve as a guide for community organizers seeking to work in neglected neighborhoods. Too bad Peter Medoff is no longer with us.
