Opis

With trust in top-down government faltering, community-based groups around the world are displaying an ever greater desire to take control of their own lives and neighborhoods. Government, for its part, is keen to embrace the projects and planning undertaken at this level, attempting to regularize it as a means of reconnecting to citizens and localizing democracy.
This unique book analyzes the contexts, drivers, and outcomes of community action and planning in a selection of case studies in the Global North: from emergent neighborhood planning in England to the community-based housing movement in New York, and from active citizenship in the Dutch new towns to associative action in Marseille. It will be a valuable resource for academic researchers and students of social policy, planning, and community development."
