Community Development Practice or CD Practice was an open access publication long produced by the Community Development Society (CDS). In 2021, it was integrated into Community Development as a special section for practice-oriented articles, such as case studies and practitioner essays that invite dialogue with scholars.
The CD Practice archives offer back-issues that present innovative approaches, tools, and techniques in teaching and practice that can be readily applied by community development practitioners, applied researchers, and educators. CD Practice also features practice extensions of work published in the other CDS journals and books.
