Citizen Engagement with the Changing City

Abstract

The book, Citizen Engagement with the Changing City, captures the essence of connecting policy to community building as engaging with residents and building for residents.  Brail seeks to highlight the necessity of citizen engagement in the policy and planning process, if cities are to be transformed into livable communities for all populations, including those populations typically marginalized by traditional top-down processes.  Positive strategies for citizen engagement provide insight and inspiration for policy makers and practitioners working in today’s changing cities.
