What others have said:
"This book has much to recommend it. Any reader who is already at the
coal face of action planning will find it a useful reference work. Any reader
who works in an ivory tower for international funding agencies will find
it an invaluable introduction to the alternative approach. The case studies
make very interesting reading and the book is peppered throughout with photographic
illustrations of community workshops in session, exhibition materials, visual
aids, etc.
-Tim Catchpole, URBAN DESIGN, October 1998
