Community development means different things to different people. For example, some equate community development with neighbourhood beautification projects, whilst others will associate the term with affordable housing projects. Community developments can be all of these things, but typically require four elements:

  1. Attention to the needs and desires of the people involved
  2. Control by community members
  3. The concept of self-help
  4. A holistic view of community

The following are community matters or initiatives that the MADCA has either supported, lobbyied for, worked collaboratively with or led.
