	A multitude of perspectives define and shape economic development as we proceed into the 21th Century. Economic development affects all realms of life, economic, political and philosophical. It is policy in practice and a goal in process, yet there is no end point. This book will help you explore and understand what is meant by this term and how it affects the world and your local environment.

 ==What is economic development?==
 '''Definition'''
-Economic development has several definitions from local to global perspectives. Professor of Economics and Public Policy Alan Deardorff at the University of Michigan as part of his International Economics Glossary calls it: "Sustained increase in the economic standard of living of a country's population, normally accomplished by increasing its stocks of physical and human capital and improving its technology."<ref>[http://www-personal.umich.edu/~alandear/glossary/e.html International Economics Glossary ]</ref> At the local level, the term is brought to a more reachable level. For example the UrbanPlan curriculum states: "Economic development—A term generally applied to the expansion of a community’s property and sales tax base or the expansion of the number of jobs through office, retail, and industrial development."<ref>[http://www.urbanplan.org]</ref> An interesting Cornell article expands: "Economic development is typically measured in terms of jobs and income, but it also includes improvements in human development, education, health, choice, and environmental sustainability. Business and economic developers in the US are increasingly recognizing the importance of quality of life, which includes, environmental, and recreational amenities, as well as social infrastructure such as child care, in attracting and retaining businesses in a community."<ref>[http://government.cce.cornell.edu/doc/html/MethodologyGuide_TermsUsed.htm Cornell]</ref> In each of these definitions, the focus is on growth of the physical and social sphere of life. As well there is an inherent goal, that such growth achieves a greater "standard of living" or "quality of life." Growth and improvement, of course, not simply endless building such as that of residential suburbia. However the field does presume one common fact, that what ''is'' there is not providing what that community needs.

 ===The city and the hinterland===
-The basis for urban economies is in understanding the relationship of cities and the hinterland.  The hinterland has been used since the 20th century by geographers to describe rural land, the "empty" and "wild" space between cities.
+The basis for urban economies is in understanding the relationship of cities and the hinterland.  The hinterland has been used since the 20th century by geographers to describe rural land, the "empty" and "wild" space between cities. Eugene van Cleef would better define it in "Hinterland and Umland," tracing its Germanic routes as the land extending from the coast.<ref>{{cite book|title=Hinterland and Umland|author=Eugene van Cleef|volume=Geographical Review, Vol. 31, No. 2 (Apr., 1941), pp. 308-311   (article consists of 4 pages)|publisher=Published by: American Geographical Society|url=http://www.jstor.org/pss/210211}}</ref> The best equivalent is "back country." Though with a slight negative connotation, the hinterland has become an appropriate term to describe land areas that do not necessarily have a city or urbanized function but are not necessarily rural lands. For example much of the central to western United States is unincorporated or not in use at all due to natural features.  As well hinterland encompasses all natural lands even those in protected status.
-The need to understand the relationship between the city (meaning both urbanized and metropolitan areas) and the hinterland, is helpful to understanding the cycle of urban economies and flow of investment and assets. ((more text to be added))

Lastly, this book does not attempt to provide an entire global examination of economic development as it uniquely occurs in each country, but to generalize and provide a basic view of its process as it occurs and changes in the Western world. As stated, economic development continues to be re-defined and each era marks a different interpretation as technology and circumstances change in the world. Hopefully this text will attempt to weave common elements together and present the situation as it exists today.
