Description

This key planning textbook on shaping integrated and sustainable communities offers clear outlines of practicable planning methods and will help develop essential skills for planners.

The current strong movement towards higher standards of urban life and the challenges of rapid change are not solely about detailed design or matters of style but rather a pursuit of healthier, safer, and more sociable and responsible urban areas.

The aims and roles of community planning are explored and the key planning operations are explained, including the phases and applications of community planning method, the planning and location of community facilities, the roles of design in shaping responsive community spaces, and the capacity of different types of community governance to improve the relations between citizens and societies.
