A guide to approaches and skills

Communityplanning.net is delighted to feature this important new book, initially prepared for the United Nations World Urban Forum III and the World Planning Congress in Vancouver in June 2006.

The aim of the book is to:
1. focus international attention on the urgent need to increase global understanding of sustainable urban development processes and pro-poor planning practices; and
2. outline the range and types of skills needed to implement them.

Over the coming months some of the material from the book will be incorporated into the core sections of the website, particularly the Case Studies section. Feedback and additional material is encouraged.
