Planning for Community

A comprehensive exploration of community planning that integrates today's social and economic issues with policy and governance considerations

In Planning for Community, distinguished regional and local planner Phil Heywood delivers an insightful examination of the accelerating impacts of social, environmental, and economic changes on community life and organization. He explores the ways in which these changes can be anticipated, planned for, and managed as he reviews and evaluates the nature and challenges of place and interaction faced by traditional and emerging local communities.

The book includes discussions of the values, aims, and methods of community planning and the key operations in each of the fields of housing, work, transport, health, and environment. It should also inspire and assist readers to become more involved and influential in the lives of their local and wider communities.

Readers will also find:

• A thorough introduction to methods of inclusion and empowerment enabling effective community management
• Comprehensive explorations of the ways the values of prosperity, liberty, social justice, and sustainability link to practical community problem-solving
• Practical discussions of the values, methods, activities, design, and governance shaping community planning
• Comprehensive, well-grounded, and effective treatments of policy development and practice

Planning for Community is an excellent resource for professionals, activists, academics, and students seeking a comprehensive and readable guide to community planning.
