The Charrette Handbook

by Bill Lennertz, Aarin Lutzenhiser

Charrettes engage citizens in envisioning new possibilities for their communities. They foster the collaboration, creativity, and consensus necessary to define a vision shared by citizens, officials, developers, and other stakeholders. This book is a step-by-step guide to a successful charrette. Based on the NCI Charrette Planner certification training curriculum developed by the National Charrette Institute, the book offers practical tips on everything from pre-charrette preparations to project implementation. With handy charts and easy-to-follow examples, the handbook is an invaluable how-to manual for anyone organizing a charrette.

I love this book. I love public participation and an active, productive process that meets people's needs. I love Bill Lennertz, even tho I've never met him.
