Congratulations on a brilliant piece of collaborative work. I am in awe! —Wendy Sarkissian, Australia This book will help all those concerned with shaping the environment to get started quickly, learn from others’ experience and undertake community planning with understanding and sensitivity. Nick Wates has done it again. —Joan Kean MBE, Town & Country Planning A wonderful work. The contribution of this book in the field of planning will be widely acknowledged. It will not only be helpful for planners but also to the lay people planning day to day life activity in their respective cities —Piyush Rout, Urban Regional Planner, Orissa, India As a practical handbook on ways of working with communities on environmental and planning matters, this is a real winner… Above all, this book is designed to be useful to readers and users, and to give them the confidence to start working in these ways, and at that it succeeds brilliantly. —Diane Warburton, EG
