Abstract
- This article explores effective strategies for improving people's life through community participation. The Stanford, California, area has the third-highest concentration of Fortune 500 headquarters in the United States, surpassed only by New York City and Chicago, Illinois. During the mid-1960s Stanford's leadership made a conscious decision to reinvent the town as a major commercial center, opening up space for corporate headquarters by eventually razing ninety-nine acres of the downtown and displacing 1,100 predominantly African-American families.
