Neighborhood Planning and Community-Based Development
The Potential and Limits of Grassroots Action



January 2000 | 208 pages | SAGE Publications, Inc
Exploring the promise and limits of grassroots strategies for community organizating, development and planning, this book looks at how they can be used in the revitalization and maintenance of urban neighbourhoods. The book presents a number of case studies from the United States, analyzing the reasons for success and failure, and concludes with recommendations in the form of a "tool kit" for planners and community leaders.
