Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD) is a theory that looks at the gifts and assets of people that exist within a neighbourhood allowing them to respond to, and create local opportunities. ABCD’s emphasis is on strengths, connections, citizen leadership, and the recognition that individual gifts become powerful when they are connected. This case study outlines the collaboration between neighbours and the City of Edmonton in the development of an Asset-Based Community Development initiative.
