Saskatoon – According to a recent Centre for Policy Alternatives groundbreaking study on inner city community development, a unique form of ‘bottom up’ development in Saskatoon and Winnipeg has been created largely by core residents themselves.
Professor Jim Silver, University of Winnipeg, says in his study, The Inner Cities of Saskatoon and Winnipeg: A New and Distinctive Form of Development, ”this new form of community development holds considerable promise for resolving the problems arising from spatially concentrated racialized poverty.”
