Like all of Wendy’s
books, it’s resource you should have on your bookshelf. (Some of you may have participated in or
listened to our podcast about her last book, Kitchen Table Sustainability;
listen to it in our Library.)
Here’s a brief
description of the book:
Creative Community Planning
provides clear access to emerging innovations in artistic, narrative, embodied
and technological methods. Reflecting on the wide continuum of participatory
practice, the authors explore the frontiers of community engagement within a
fresh sustainability framework.
Leading planning theorists,
researchers and practitioners in the field reflect with the authors on the many
successes and challenges in engaging with a diversity of people in rural and
urban communities. These conversations reveal creativity as key to enhancing
existing engagement practices. Concepts and practical applications thread
through the book, including community visioning, participatory research and
reporting, conflict resolution, poetry and planning language, theatre,
photography, film and websites.
