This unique book analyses the contexts, drivers and outcomes of community action and planning in a selection of case studies in the global north: from emergent neighbourhood planning in England to the community-based housing movement in New York, and from active citizenship in the Dutch new towns to associative action in Marseille.

Leading the inclusive city
By Robin Hambleton
Paperback ISBN: £24.99

“In this wide ranging and challenging book, Robin Hambleton draws upon his considerable knowledge and experience to draw attention to the challenges, and the opportunities, facing cities in our current climate. He does so with academic insight and practical application, and this is an essential read for anyone concerned about the ways places are led.” Julia Unwin CBE, Chief Executive, Joseph Rowntree Foundation
This engaging book argues that imaginative place-based leadership can enable citizens to shape the urban future while advancing social justice, promoting care for the environment and bolstering community empowerment.
