Description

Community Visioning for Place Making is a groundbreaking guide to engaging with communities in order to design better public spaces. It provides a toolkit to encourage and assist organisations, municipalities, and neighbourhoods in organising visually based community participation workshops. These workshops are used to evaluate existing communities and translate images into plans that embody their ideal characteristics of places and spaces.

The book is based on results generated from hundreds of public participation visioning sessions in a broad range of cities and regions, portraying images of what people liked and disliked. These community visioning sessions have been instrumental in generating policies, physical plans, recommendations, and codes for adoption and implementation in a range of urban, suburban, and rural spaces.

The book serves as a bottom-up tool for designers and public officials to make decisions that enhance the appeal of their communities. It will appeal to community and neighbourhood organisations, professional planners, social and psychological professionals, policy analysts, architects, urban designers, engineers, and municipal officials seeking an alternative vision for their future.
