Action Planning for Cities proposes an alternative approach and practical guide to planning which is grounded in community needs with objectives which are immediate. The authors are distinguished planners who have been associated with the development of the approach and have written widely in the field. Of great importance in development planning in developing countries, the approach is also of social relevance in Eastern Europe, the USA and the EU. The book is conceived as a practical guide to techniques and illustration of good practice, and contains sufficient theoretical material to be of great value to academic researchers and students.
