    • Description:xii, 326 pages : illustrations (some color), color maps ; 26 cm
    • Summary:How can we design places that fulfill urgent needs of the community, achieve environmental justice, and inspire long-term stewardship? By bringing community members to the table, we open up the possibility of exchanging ideas meaningfully and transforming places powerfully. Collaboration like this is hands-on democracy in action. It{u2019}s up close. It{u2019}s personal. For decades, participatory design practices have helped enliven neighborhoods and promote cultural understanding. Yet, many designers still rely on the same techniques that were developed in the 1950s and 60s. These approaches offer predictability, but hold waning promise for addressing current and future design challenges. This book is written to reinvigorate democratic design, providing inspiration, techniques, and case stories for a wide range of contexts.--Publisher's description.
