An inside look at community development, December 13, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Streets of Hope : The Fall and Rise of an Urban Neighborhood (Paperback)
I witnessed much of the transformation described in this book and it is remarkably accurate. This should serve as a guide for community organizers seeking to work in neglected neighborhoods. Too bad Peter Medoff is no longer with us.

An amazing story of a community working together to protect and maintain their neighborhood long forgotten by the city of Boston. Very inspiring.

Success story in community development, w/difficult odds, October 19, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Streets of Hope : The Fall and Rise of an Urban Neighborhood (Paperback)
A little too much detail. However, this is an inspiring success story about a community in very bad shape, that turned itself around totally, working "from the inside out". Well known in the field of community development, in my area.
