Localism in Action : Making community based regeneration work

Omtale

Independent local civic organisations are the basic building block of regeneration and community-based development all over the world. They come in many different forms and may have many different names, such as ‘community groups’, ‘development trusts’, ‘environmental NGOs’. Yet, their success depends upon common principles and good practice. Localism in Action sets these out clearly for the first time. Based on extensive personal experience as a community planning consultant, author Nick Wates provides invaluable tips on setting up and running these organizations. With additional online resources such as sample documents, checklists and links to further information together, this is an essential book for practitioners on the ground as well as academics and policy makers.
