  • Second Edition has been thoroughly updated with current knowledge and research
  • Covers new developments from current design thinking and strategy literature to innovation and invention in communities
  • Advises on how to create community readiness that will help avert problems before they begin
  • All case vignettes have been revised to include more detailed information about the process and application of the seven leverage points
  • Examples from communities around the country illustrate how these change agents' well-structured decision-making processes can be traced to their effective use of the seven key leverage points

Smart Communities offers hope to those who are striving to improve their communities and addresses vital issues such as poverty, race relations, and children's health and welfare.
