Description

For social workers and community development practitioners, there are a host of new technologies that, when combined with participatory research techniques, can shed new light on the nuances of everyday life in disadvantaged urban neighborhoods. In this commentary, I suggest that this integration of technology and technique is particularly useful to community programs in urban areas that are increasingly marked by social, cultural, and economic complexity. Contemporary community revitalization programs emerge from a broad spectrum of social and economic discourses and are deployed across a heterogeneous range of urban neighborhoods (Ferguson&Dickens, 1999; Rubin, 2000; Vidal&Keating, 2004). As a professional practice, the field of community development has grown exponentially since the War on Poverty was declared in 1964--from early informal grassroots urban coalitions to today's formalized nonprofit organizations and community and economic development corporations (O'Connor, 1999;Vidal&Keating, 2004). The evolving structure and focus of the field has been based as much on social experimentation (for example, urban gardening, food cooperatives) as on federal and state policy pressure (for example, faith-based initiatives, empowerment zones, enterprise communities) (Ferguson&Stoutland, 1999; Rubin, 2000). However, although structural and programmatic evolution is ongoing, one constant has been the exceedingly complex nature of postindustrial urban space.
