Reviews

"MAKING COMMUNITY DESIGN WORK is a direct response to an international movement aimed at giving people a voice in shaping their future environment. This is a practical "must have" tool for planners, designers, students, and other related professionals, community organizations, and workshop facilitators everywhere. The book outlines "off-the-shelf" workable methods illustrated by informative case studies. It integrates tools and processes that help to deepen the public conversation. It is equally valuable in shaping the next generation of designers and planners in understanding effective participation processes." --Henry Sanoff, Distinguished Emeritus Professor of Architecture, North Carolina State University
