* From [[Transforming or Reforming Capitalism - Chapter 3 - Lamb "Towards an Economic Theory of Community Economic Development"]]: The chapter presents theoretical underpinnings for economic aspects of CED, and proposes that micro-economic theories support linkages of small scale econonmic organizations, linkages in community development. Next two economic rationales for subsidization of CED is presented. Next the fiscal impact of CED is analyzed, finally how individual community residents may or may not choose to participate in collective action.
* From [[Shared Space Chapter 1 - Reaching for Resilience]]: Clusters share and must be supported and sustained by infrastructure - "quality foundations" - which include a skilled and adaptable workforce, education, capital and advanced physical infrastructure.
* From [[Shared Space Chapter 2 - Organizing for complexity]]: The resilience clusters sustenance, adaptability, engagement and opportunity are the substance of the communities agenda. To support them, [[strategic]] tasks and processes, and "[[leading between]]" are required - [[steering | convenor]] the collaborative process, and harnessing assets.
* From [[Shared Space Chapter 2 - Organizing for complexity]]: A statement of objectives is required. In support of this, the [[Organization for Economic Co-Operation and Development | OECD]]'s publication [[Society at a Glance: OECD Social Indicators]] organizes trends such as asylum seekers, suicides, divorce, employment, incarceration, gender wage gaps in four categories: human health, enhanced self-sufficiency, greater social inclusion, and greater equity of outcome - which correspond to the clusters of sustenance, adaptation, engagement and opportunity.
* From [[Concepts]]: * [[Centres local de développement | CLD]] - 111 centres that support planning and launching of social enterprises
* From [[Transforming or Reforming Capitalism - Chapter 2 - Ghorayshi, Gradon, Kliewer "Towards a Social Theory in Community Economic Development: Idealizing Community in the Era of Globalization"]]: Local community efforts in North America date to [[Date::early 20th century]] settler communities, losing their popularity in in the [[Date::1950s - 1960s]] due to a surge in capitalism. By the [[Temporal:1980s]], globalization, post-industrialism and neo-liberal policies, promoted market players and supported by government, had deprecated welfare state ideals. Civil society, in forms such as NGOs, CDCs, CD, CED, [[community development intermediary organizations | CDIO]], micro-enterprise, micro-lending, [[participatory rural appraisal | PRA]], etc emerged in support of local development and empowerment, with an assumption they could support good social services. Successes have included fighting the economic problems of exclusion, and time dollar banks.
* From [[MW150102 - Editorial - The End of the Beginning.pdf]]: Martin participated in [[Southwest Montréal | SW]] development as a minister in the [[Date::early 1990s]], [[providing | provide]] [[multi year funding]]. [[MW150121 p. 21]]. [[Created | created]] a [[Money::$5 million]] [[equity investment pool]] with the [[Federal Government]], [[Province of Québec]] and [[Québec Solidarity Fund]], [[supporting | support]] [[capacity building]], [[community capital]], and [[competance]].
* From [[Shared Space Chapter 2 - Organizing for complexity]]: Employment has improved since the [[Date::1990s]], but social programs, in decline since the [[Date::mid-1970s]], do not address problems brought on by ongoing unemployment and poverty, as well as new problems, such as lack of benefits or adequate pay for more "flexible" work forces (part time, contract, self employed, minimum wage), and working mothers. This lack of support lead to continued cycles of poverty and lost economic opportunities.
* From [[MW150121 - Transformed by Community Economic Development.pdf]]: Southwest Montréal - from an [[industrial centre]] to poverty. PEP and RESO successful [[intervention]] through [[citizen engagement]]: socio-economic partners - organization must be composed of [[elected | voting | vote | democracy | !democratic | election]] representatives of different sectors of the community (four from business, four from [[community organizations | community based organization | community organization | community based organizations]], two union [[leaders | Leader | lead | leading]], two associate members known for their influence, board grew to include local institutions, residence and elected municipal officials), committees and forums, AGM; Collaboration: supporting key [[community projects]], [[economic]], employment and [[recreational | recreation]] [[tourism | tourist]] plans; [[employment support]] and [[advice]] to [[entrepreneurs | entrepreneur | entrepreneurship]], [[maintained | maintain]] [[industrial zoning]], [[networking]] between businesses, workshops for training, secondary school for adults developed with [[industry | industrial | factory]], unions and [[literacy]] organizations.
* From [[Shared Space - Chapter 4 - Supporting Sustenance]]: Government can intervene by investing in the supply of amenities, supporting entities such as developers willing to build affordable housing, and providing land or land trusts to muncipalities and nonprofit corporations. Rehabilitation of land, policies, incentives and tax credits can also be used, as well as focusing on setting good wage conditions, government benefit programs, and lower the cost of basics such as utilities and transportation for affected groups.
* From [[MW150113 - CED & Social Economy in Canada - A People's History.pdf]]: [[Progressive]] [[social policies]] for [[marginalized | marginalization]] groups, eg voting, [[child care | Child care]], support for entrepreneurs for women, [[disabled]] persons.
* From [[Transforming or Reforming Capitalism - Chapter 3 - Lamb "Towards an Economic Theory of Community Economic Development"]]: Attraction models use incentives and subsidies to industrialists, entrepeneurs or particular socio-economic groups, emphasizing "civic entrepenerialism" to make communities more attractive for entrepenerial success. It may be countered when other communities use similar tactics. CED uses subsidies and incentives, though it does not support changing the makeup of populations, though they may be enhanced.
* From [[MW150113 - CED & Social Economy in Canada - A People's History.pdf]]: Shift to supportive role, CES, LEAD, CEADS, all business focused but with more [[local authority]].
* From [[Transforming or Reforming Capitalism - Chapter 2 - Ghorayshi, Gradon, Kliewer "Towards a Social Theory in Community Economic Development: Idealizing Community in the Era of Globalization"]]: In examining a shift from supportive communities based on kinship and common aims to larger, more impersonal societys based on interlocking economic, political etc interests, the social sciences became preoccupied with the implications of these events.
* From [[Shared Space Chapter 1 - Reaching for Resilience]]: The concept of clusters originated in research in the [[Date::1960s]], with [[Michael Porter]]'s [[Date::1990s]] sector-based form, focused on geography, informal relationships, and supporting institutions. In the communities agenda framework, the social dimension of communities is the result of related geographic clusters that are synergistic networks of activity, which thrive due to proximity.
* From [[Shared Space - Chapter 4 - Supporting Sustenance]]: Service coordination is can be used to coordinate supports and services, especially for seniors and persons with disabilities. Communities can ease and coordinate assistance. Efforts to reduce costs can result in more realistic billing structures, as well as increased engagement.
* From [[MW150132 - New Synergies.pdf]]: [[Multicultural Health Brokers Co-Operative Ltd.]] provide social, emotional support, education services for immigrants. Compensated through service contracts with health institutions, pilot/project funding.
* From [[Shared Space Chapter 1 - Reaching for Resilience]]: The [[communities agenda]] is the [[what]] and [[how]]. It creates [[resilience through strategy]], and results from actions in the key [[sustenance]], [[adaptation]], [[engagement]] and [[opportunity]] [[clusters]], and [[complements]] [[policy]] and government intervention. Combined they are "[[investments in the public good]]," and support local and national economies.
