Sherry Arnstein, writing in 1969 about citizen involvement in
planning processes in the United States, described a “ladder of
citizen participation” that showed participation ranging from low
to high. Arnstein depicted the failings of typical participation
processes at the time and characterized aspirations toward
engagement that have now been elevated to core values in planning
practice. But since that time, the political, economic, and social
context has evolved greatly, and planners, organizers, and
residents have been involved in planning and community development
practice in ways previously unforeseen. Learning from Arnstein’s
Ladder draws on contemporary theory, expertise, empirical analysis,
and practical applications in what is now more commonly termed
public engagement in planning to examine the enduring impacts of
Arnstein’s work and the pervasive challenges that planners face
in advancing meaningful public engagement. This book presents
research from throughout the world, including Australia, Brazil,
India, Indonesia, Portugal, Serbia, and the United States, among
others, that utilizes, critiques, revises, and expands upon
Arnstein’s aspirational vision. It is essential reading for
educators and students of planning.

Urban regime theory has gained a dominant position in the
literature on local politics in the United States and its use in
comparative cross-national research despite its cited shortcomings.
In Reconstructing Urban Regime Theory, editor Mickey Lauria
presents a challenging argument for the need to reconceptualize
urban regime's middle-level abstraction by interpreting it through
the lens of the higher-level abstraction of regulationist theory.
The noted contributors to this volume propose stronger conceptual
linkages between local agents and institutions, regime
transformation, and the restructuring of urban space. The blend of
empirical and case-study chapters provide an excellent mix of
theory and practice that makes Reconstructing Urban Regime Theory
well suited to a broad spectrum of upper-level undergraduate
courses covering urban studies, political science, sociology, and
geography as well as a rich resource for academics and researchers
in these fields.
