| Abstract: | This article examines the impact land effectiveness of a shift from traditional public sector-led and old-style business-led approaches to local development to a more integrative and innovative planning process of broad-based community involvement. Through a careful analysis of Dayton's economic transformation, this article explores the importance of combining public sector, university, business and grass root community interests to arrive at a region-wide planning process in which all these disparate elements share responsibility and identify their goals for local development. |
