exemplary projects in civic renewal
Dr. Henry Tam has just been named "Head of Civil Renewal" in the British Government's Home Affairs Department. He emailed a list of people to ask their advice about excellent projects in the US. I gave him my quick "top-ten list" of US projects in civic renewal:
- Local Initiatives Support Corporation (LISC): support for urban renewal
- The Industrial Areas Foundation (IAF), especially in San Antonio, TX: community organizing with a religious flavor
- Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD)
- Focus St. Louis: community planning in a metropolitan region
- Campus Compact: service-learning and civic engagement in higher education
- Public Achivement: civic education
- America Speaks: large-scale public deliberations, for example, about how to rebuild the World Trade Center site in NYC
- Study Circles Resource Center: organizing deliberation in communities
- The Quincy Library Group: just an example of local stakeholder negotiations that resolve difficult regulatory issues in the enviromental field
- Community Based Approaches within the Environmental Protection Agency
