The increasing complexity of modern life means that informal methods of communication and involvement no longer work very well. The activist ethic of the 1960s made people hungry for involvement in grassroots initiatives. And drug-related crime in the 1980s prompted police forces to look to communities for help. Neighborhood associations provide flexibility and responsiveness as they bring people together to assist local governments. This report examines how several communities have created, supported, and used neighborhood associations to enhance the quality of local decision making.
