On intervention : constructing a northern place; Conclusion : renewal for rural and small-town Northern BC."Northern British Columbia is a place of rich cultures, diverse communities, and a strong sense of identity. The future of this vast, resource-rich region and the people who call it home could be either driven by a narrow economic agenda or guided by innovative, place-based solutions that seek to build viable communities and resilient local and regional economies.Investing in Place is about creating the foundations for renewing northern British Columbia's rural and small-town economies. Markey, Halseth, and Manson argue that renewal is not about nostalgic reliance on the policies and economic strategies of the past -- rather, it is about building a pragmatic and innovative vision for development, one that acknowledges both the opportunities and the challenges posed by resource development and global and technological change.For policy-makers and residents alike the path to renewal lies in place-based development, which consists of people working together at all levels of the community and region to take advantage of local opportunities in a sustainable, responsible way."--pub. desc.Economic developmentBritish Columbia, NorthernBritish Columbia, NorthernEconomic conditionsEconomic development338.9711/8Markey Sean Patrick1970-900227Halseth Greg1960-.1359423Manson Don1541920MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910785781403321Investing in place3794307UNINA
