The purpose of this course is to explore the notion of community development in general, and the notion of sustainable community development more specifically. The course is not designed to give you the answer on how to achieve sustainable community development, but rather to expose you to a variety of elements and viewpoints about it. As future planners, part of the skill set you are learning is the capacity to integrate and synthesize a multitude of perspectives into a coherent idea – this class is ideally suited to push you in that direction. This class will hopefully enlarge student’s conception about what community development is and how it is pursued, as well as push you to look inward, challenge your assumptions and stereotypes about the world, and leave you with a richer (if not more confused) notion of how the world works and what can be done to make things better.
