Product Description
* Written by the acknowledged ‘guru’ of participatory urban development
* Provides a vast range of ideas and examples for practicing urban development in all contexts, worldwide
* Essential reading for practitioners, students, and academics in development and urban planning
This book is an argument for the wisdom of the street, the ingenuity of the improvisers, and the long-term, large-scale effectiveness of immediate, small-scale actions. Written by the guru of urban participatory development, this book brings over three decades of experience and knowledge to bear on the question of "what is practice?" Through an easy-to-read narrative style and using examples from the North and South, the author answers this question and others, looking at what knowledge, competencies, and ways of thinking are fundamental to skillful practice in urban development.
This is powerful, informed, critical, and inspiring reading for practitioners in the field and students and teachers of urban development in all contexts and all places.
