Investing in Transformative Systems Change: A Call for Racial Equity

Ben Hecht

Cascade, 2018, vol. 3

Abstract: Today?s community development field can trace its roots back to the War on Poverty of the 1960s, when we, as a nation, rallied around a bold vision that we could and would conquer poverty. The growing field was driven by a clear theory of change: If you could transform the built environment, neighborhood by neighborhood, you would dramatically improve the well-being of a significant portion of the nation?s low-income people
