Alternate Timelines

Scenarios about 'community development'

Community development refers to the process of strengthening a community's social, economic, and cultural infrastructure through collaborative local action. This practice emerged prominently in the mid-20th century as a response to urbanization challenges, though its roots extend to earlier cooperative movements and settlement houses. In alternate history scenarios, different approaches to community development often reflect divergent social values, political systems, and technological priorities that shape how societies organize themselves.
