From the perspective of the small community within the city, there has emerged a view of the urban power struggle as a contest between economic and communal forces, with local government as a mediator, facilitator, implementor that is pulled, pushed, and sometimes captured by one combatant or the other. Now, as jobs replace development as the central issue for neighborhood people, the power struggle enters a new phase with new kinds of communal coalitions appearing. Participation is people and their organizations enlisting as communal forces. The opportunities for such enlistment seem to be expanding
