Community development is the process of people working together on a local level to improve the economic, social, cultural and environmental conditions in a community. This process includes the conception of ideas as well as the planning and implementation of projects to improve the living standards of people in those communities.

Community development includes aspects of community capacity building, citizen participation, consensus building, problem solving, visioning and action planning. Partnerships among private, public and nonprofit entities are created to promote activities supporting community development. These activities might be housing construction, business development, technology initiatives, cooperative development or rehabilitation of structures, to name just a few.
