Communities and their development :
Batten, T. R.
Communities and their development : an introductory study with special reference to the tropics / - London : Oxford University Press, c1957. - vi, 248 p. :ill.,
T.R. Batten (Senior Lecturer and Supervisor of Studies in Community Development, University of London Institute of Education) Includes index.
Includes bibliographical references: p. 232-241.
The author of this book obviously has an encyclopaedic knowledge of what are called 'community development projects' in colonial, semi-colonial and formerly colonial territories. He has performed a useful service in bringing together some of the material which is available and seeking to elucidate
the principles underlying this sort of work. The projects undertaken by the agencies appear to be of three main sorts: those which seek to help villages to raise their standard
of life; those which are concerned with the rehabilitation of 'disorganized' communities; and those which are concerned with the building of new communities especially among urban immigrants.
Community development.
