Beskrivning
This book investigates multi-disciplinary approaches to addressing the health of disadvantaged communities through equitable community development systems (CDSs).The core concepts underlying the book are three dimensions of support infrastructure (people: human-centering; place: place-cultivating; and ecosystem: sustainable capitalization), leveraging several theories (community capital, social justice) from community development. This book is based on the results of a recent grassroots, citywide engagement-driven initiative in Detroit, and on best-practice case studies in Chicago, Indianapolis, Cleveland, Boston, Philadelphia, Minneapolis, Richmond, and Portland. The initiative’s significant outcomes include a consensus—bolstered by those case studies—on seven components deemed essential to an equitable system for community development. This book proposes that the CDS can enhance community health if at least the following requirements are met: (1) adoption of a community-vitality framework as a citywide shared narrative; (2) coordination across financial institutions to allocate funds equitably to underserved communities; and (3) implementation of system governance with stronger attention to resident voices.This book demonstrates that bottom-up CDSs can and should be leveraged to enhance the health of underserved communities and investigates how best to address the three requirements to make the equitable system-based approach work effectively in practice. The audience of community development and community health actors will learn from Detroit and the case studies—offering lessons for other cities facing similar issues—how to leverage equitable CDSs to promote healthy communities.

“Prof. Kim, PhD, FAIA has spent the majority of his impressive career working with students and community organizations planning and designing equitable communities. This short but powerful Routledge book summarizes his multidisciplinary approach to planning for healthy communities and provides a thoroughly thought out lesson to all”.Stephen Vogel, Dean Emeritus and Distinguished Professor, FAIA, University of Detroit Mercy School of Architecture and Community Development, United States."Joongsub Kim, distinguished architect, planner, and educator in Planning for Healthy Communities reveals that healthy communities, based on principles of equitability and sustainability, don’t happen inherently. His insightful research demonstrates how healthy communities require rigorous “grassroots” planning, appropriate capitalization through community partnerships, and active implementation strategies."Glen LeRoy, FAIA, FAICP, President Emeritus, Boston Architectural College.
