Bikers and hikers. Sex workers and social conservatives. Agencies
and activists. The people involved in planning for a site-or a
community-can be like the Hatfields and McCoys. And the process
brings them together face to face and toe to toe. How can planners
take conflicted communities from passionate demands to practical
solutions? Facilitative leadership offers helpful answers. Cornell
University's John Forester has produced a dozen profiles of
planning practitioners known for their successes in helping
communities turn contentious conflicts into practical consensus.
This remarkable book tells their stories in their own words. Lisa
Beutler shows the way she got California's off-highway vehicle
users and recreationists on the same track. Michael Hughes shares
the search for common ground for HIV prevention in Colorado.
Shirley Solomon recalls how lessons learned in South Africa helped
her build trust between Native Americans and county officials in
the Pacific Northwest. Forester and his panel of experts offer no
simplistic formulas but a great deal of practical guidance. From
mind mapping to the Hawaiian concept of Ho' oponopono (making
things right), readers will come away with a wealth of ideas they
can use to move from the heat of confrontation to the light of
creative solutions in their communities.
