City Planning 2.0

In a world facing unprecedented urbanization, traditional top-down planning approaches are no longer sufficient to address the complex challenges of our cities. This book presents a transformative alternative: community-based planning.
Community-based planning is a collaborative process that empowers residents to shape their own neighborhoods and cities. It recognizes that communities are the experts on their own needs and aspirations, and that they have the power to create positive change.
This comprehensive guide provides a step-by-step framework for community-based planning, from engaging stakeholders and understanding community needs to developing and implementing effective strategies for community development. It also includes real-world case studies from around the world, demonstrating the power of community-based planning to create more livable, sustainable, and equitable cities.
This book is essential reading for anyone interested in the future of urban planning. It offers a powerful vision for how we can create cities that are truly responsive to the needs and aspirations of their residents.
