Neighborhood Planning and Community-Based Development: The Potential and Limits of Grassroots Action

Cities and Planning

by William Peterman

Exploring the promise and limits of grassroots strategies for community organizing, development and planning, this book looks at how they can be used in the revitalization and maintenance of urban neighborhoods. The book presents a number of case studies from the United States, analyzing the reasons for success and failure, and concludes with recommendations in the form of a "tool kit" for planners and community leaders.

The synopsis above pretty much says it all. This is an excellent read and I enjoyed the case studies very much. All in all, a thought-provocative and informative read. This is one I will be returning to as I embark on a planning career.
