The best efforts to bring investment and hope back to underserved communities operate at the intersection of the utopian and the pragmatic. They pursue an image of the future that is compelling enough to get the commitment of diverse groups - residents, local government, nonprofits, and private sector players - to work together. But these efforts are also shaped by a realistic sense of the market conditions, the opportunities for development, the financing possibilities and constraints, and the strengths and weaknesses of the implementing organizations.
