community developer:
... a person who works for community
sustainability at the infrastructure level
which typically means addressing problems of poverty
and the disadvantaged, especially, as related to
housing, transportation, jobs and business
retention. Community developers are likely
to have economic
development responsibilities or to, at least,
work in tandem with other area
and local development representatives. The
latter are economic
developers. They may have community
development responsibilities but by definition
are specialized
marketers. Community development is a form of
specialized marketing only in the sense that practitioners
motivate civic leaders, activists, and citizens to
address specific needs to improve various aspects
of locales.

community development:
... the combined processes, programs,
strategies, and activities that make a community sustainable
as compared to economic
development which is typically the marketing
of potential for growth followed by efforts
to
act
on opportunities.
The entire set of approaches to community development
may be considered a specialized form addressing,
coordinating and building the social infrastructure
at a location.
Community development may be defined as a process
of challenging the undesirable and unacceptable disparity
of conditions and infrastructure that negatively affect
the quality
of life in a place where people live and work.
It functions best as a process in locales where
all strata of society and citizenry are engaged with
a sense of community spirit.

Exchange (CDX.org.uk).

community development and a list of CD

Community spirit in a specific location is recognizable
by the way local people work together to get things done
in a positive manner, thus bringing about a recognizable
vitality beyond happenstance. Communitas is a
word associated with community spirit as is the Latin phrase commune
bonum, both of which generally fall outside of any
association with community development or enterprise
and economic development as defined by The
Network. CLICK

bonum as well as links to discussions unrelated to
