In her groundbreaking book, \u003ci\u003eDemocratizing Urban Development, \u003c\/i\u003eMaureen Donaghy charts the constraints and potential opportunities facing these community organizations.

Donaghy studies the impact and outcomes that ensue from these efforts, noting that CSOs must sometimes shift their own ideology or adapt to the political environment in which they operate to ensure access to housing and support the goals of an inclusive city.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-6723568\"\u003eMaureen M.
