Community Action and Planning: Contexts, Drivers and Outcomes

Editat de Nick Gallent, Daniela Ciaffi
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 19 apr 2016
With trust in top-down government faltering, community-based groups around the world are displaying an ever greater desire to take control of their own lives and neighborhoods. Government, for its part, is keen to embrace the projects and planning undertaken at this level, attempting to regularize it as a means of reconnecting to citizens and localizing democracy.

This unique book analyzes the contexts, drivers, and outcomes of community action and planning in a selection of case studies in the Global North: from emergent neighborhood planning in England to the community-based housing movement in New York, and from active citizenship in the Dutch “new towns” to associative action in Marseille. It will be a valuable resource for academic researchers and students of social policy, planning, and community development.

Recenzii

“A valuable contribution to our understanding of community action and public participation in planning that pushes boundaries in its reframing of participation as an integral part of planning and governance. Compelling reading for scholars, educators, and reflective practitioners.”

“Should be regarded as a welcome addition on the reading lists of students and researchers who are interested in learning about planning activism and community organizing.”

“In this edited volume, Gallent and Ciaffi compile a set of chapters that accurately depict the complex and contradictory nature of community action and planning. . .The level of detail, diverse contexts, and inherent contradictions illustrate community action and planning in a manner that will likely resonate with the active and experienced planning scholar.”

“A rich view, neither benevolent nor romantic, of actual communities in different parts of the world struggling to take control of their lives and homes, and a close investigation of their torn connections to the planning system.”
