摘要:This article describes an approach to community level economic development that combines elements of community development and of strategie planning. Strategie community development planning (SCDP) is best adapted to the needs of localities for which conventional forms of development planning hold few promises. The article first examines SCDP as a pure mode!, then turns to the Sudbury Corporate Plan as an example of a partial application of this form of planning. Both the theoretical discussion and the Sudbury case study serve to point out SCDP's potentials and limitations.
