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.
