<upd_refs>How do we indicate that it's usually written in hiragana?
.
While it's usually written in hiragana, there are at least nine ways to write the word in the Google 
Translate (GT) IME, using various kanji. Here are the n-gram results for what appear to be the most common 
forms:
まちづくり	3449763
街づくり	461910
町づくり	150738
The Wikipedia article title is also written in hiragana:
http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%81%BE%E3%81%A1%E3%81%A5%E3%81%8F%E3%82%8A
It matches the English article
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Community_development
and the Chinese article titled 社區總體,
which GT translates as 
- Community Empowerment
- Community Development
- Community Building
- Integrated community development
- Holistic community building
.
It's worth looking at the corresponding German Wikipedia article.
It's titled "Machizukuri"! In English translation (by GT), it reads as follows:
"[Machizukuri] was founded in 1962 by a civic movement in Nagoya coined protesting against the construction 
of an eight-story apartment building in their neighborhood ... in the 1960s Was written the word in its 
original form Machizukuri 街づくり , with the kanji 街 for Neighborhoods ... in the 1970s another kanji (it 
has now 町 ) with very similar meaning ( machi ), and used the same pronunciation ... In the 1980s, the 
spelling was changed again, now dominated by the pure Hiragana -sensitive まちづくり ... "
.
"the primary goal was the preservation of the traditional cityscape ... In the 1980s The focus turned to 
the direction of "soft" measures to promote elder care, child care, welfare, social housing and civil 
protection in the small."</upd_refs>
