Drawing upon case studies from some twenty different countries,
Making Planning Work shows why new urban development and planning
skills are needed so urgently, and what can be done to grow such
skills and enhance capacities. The guide will focus international
attention on the urgent need to increase global understanding of
sustainable urban development processes and pro-poor planning
practices. It is for all those engaged in the processes of planning
and managing towns, cities and settlements: political leaders,
professional planners, engineers, architects, lawyers, and many
others in national, regional, and local government,
non-governmental organizations, community-based organizations, and
private sector consultancies and enterprises, all of whom have a
vital contribution to making and maintaining sustainable
settlements. Making Planning Work demonstrates ways in which
professionals and NGOs are creating and delivering innovative
responses, often in situations of extremely scarce and conflictive
competition for access to resources.Its tone is optimistic, but not
utopian. The global challenge of urbanization is daunting, but it
shows that imagination and skills can make an impact. In addition
to being a stand-alone book, Making Planning Work is also an
introduction to an interactive website www.communityplanning.net
that enables readers to contribute and discuss their own
experiences and ideas.
