Reviews
"All over the world there is an increasing demand for people's participation in the process of planning and managing their built environment. However, not many books on community planning and participation are written in a ' how to do it' style for a wide audience.... The handbook is very easy to read and understand, due to its simple and concise language, clearly structured format and layout, alphabetical ordering, illustrations and communicative icons....(it) is a valuable steppingstone in promoting democratic community participation in shaping the built environment." -- Urban Policy and Research "A very clear, well organized and extremely useful book for those who are or who ought to be promoting democratic participation in shaping the future of our communities. In addition to prudent principles, a well researched overview of methods and good examples of specific tools, the Scenarios section demonstrates how the various methods described can be mixed and matched to meet the unique circumstances found in any community. With its emphasis on flexibility and adaptation in the face of experience, this is a book that I will recommend to clients and colleagues alike." -- J. Gary Lawrence, President, Sustainable Strategies & Solutions, Inc., Seattle "The clear and concise copy as well as the very appealing graphic formatting make this an excellent handbook which will be useful to so many different users in so many ways" -- Tony Costello, Professor of Architecture, Ball State University, USA 'This excellent work shows an absolute understanding of the issues of consultation/participation" -- Peter Richards, Deicke Richards Architects, Australia "This is the best practical guide to running a community planning event, and a must for community groups and councils both in the UK and abroad" -- Roger Evans, Chairman, Urban Design Group "We are finding The Community Planning Handbook very useful and...plan on ordering multiple copies."-- Susan Boyd, Concern Inc., USA "Grassroots planning is now orthodox and Nick Wates' book is an excellent and comprehensive catalogue of how to do it. ...The intended reader appears to be both the experienced professional and the lay resident - a difficult trick to pull off, which books on democratizing design rarely achieve, but this one does... I hope to come across lots of well-thumbed copies in libraries, community associations and architects offices." -- Joe Holyoak, Urban Design Quarterly " This is a useful resource guide for people who want to influence the design of their city or town. Wates well-organized primer on community planning offers numerous ideas that could be helpful to " ordinary" people who are interested in organizing a local planning effort but may not know how to begin. It is attractively designed and well-illustrated, presents a brief overview of general principles... And also provides 16 short scenarios of common development situations." -- The Futurist, 'This excellent work shows an absolute understanding of the issues of consultation/participation'Peter Richards, Deicke Richards Architects, Australia'A very clear, well organized and extremely useful book for those who are or who ought to be promoting democratic participation in shaping the future of our communities ... this is a book that I will recommend to clients and colleagues alike'J Gary Lawrence, President, Sustainable Strategies & Solutions, Inc, Seattle'The clear and concise copy as well as the very appealing graphic formatting make this an excellent handbook which will be useful to so many different users in so many ways'Tony Costello, Professor of Architecture, Ball State University, USA'A graphically pleasing publication in simple language that will get across effectively to communities, empowering them in the new 'dharma' - demand-driven planning and decision making through a participatory process.'Vinay D. Lall, Director, Society for Development Studies,New Delhi, India'An excellent book that will have a host of valuable applications - with sufficient detail for practitioners, researchers, planners and policy makers. It is an important and timely contribution.'Jules Pretty, Director, Centre for Environment and Society,University of Essex'In the global, cyberspace age, government and business need communities as much as communities need them. Nick Wates' timely book is essential reading for ordinary people and professionals who believe that the opportunities being thrown up by this new balance are there for the taking'Mark Hepworth, Director, The Local Futures Group, London, UK'This book would be hard to classify as research and may be tangential to landscape studies, but it is so well conceived and useful that it deserves mention here. It describes with wonderful graphic clarity over 50 techniques for involving people in physical planning and design. These range from Art Workshops and Planning for Real exercises to Design Games and Video Soapboxes.'Ian Thompson, Landscape Research
