Community Development

Community Development is the peer-reviewed journal of the Community Development Society. Community Development is devoted to improving knowledge and practice in the field of purposive community change. The mission of the journal is to advance critical theory, research, and practice in all domains of community development, including sociocultural, political, environmental, and economic.

The journal welcomes manuscripts that report research; evaluate theory, methods, and techniques; examine community problems; or critically analyze the profession itself. Articles may address current issues including the environment and sustainability; food systems; land use; poverty; race, ethnicity, and gender; participation and social justice; economic development; health; housing; and other important topics impacting the field.

 

The Community Development Society and Routledge, Taylor & Francis also publish two book series together: Community Development Research and Practice and CDS Current Issues.

 

All manuscript submissions are subject to initial appraisal by the Editor, and, if found suitable for further consideration, to peer review by independent and anonymous expert referees. All peer review is double blind.
