Abstract

The politics of urban development has received more attention in the scholarly and journalistic writing of the 1980s and 1990s. The goals of economic development policy in a community have been debated and studied; so too have the benefits of economic development programmes in urban America. Less attention has been given to the formation of development ideas. Who formulates economic or community development ideas in a community? What are the policy goals at the formation stage? How do development plans fit into the community’s goals? How are narrow development plans — such as those for sports stadiums — formulated?
