From the Back Cover
Community architecture has emerged as a powerful force for
change in the way people all over the world are creating their own homes,
neighbourhoods and cities.
The basic principle is simple: the built environment works better if the
people who use it are directly and actively involved in its creation and
management. The movement embraces planning, development, landscape, art
and design as well as architecture and other forms of technical aid. It
has brought together an extraordinary alliance of community groups,
professionals, churchleaders and politicians of all parties - and caused
major ructions in the professions as a result.
Charles Knevitt and Nick Wates wrote and broadcast on the development of
the Community Architecture movement for over ten years before writing this
book - the first on the subject. It explains how and why Community
Architecture works and reveals the full story of the quiet revolution which
provides hope for communities everywhere.

Community Architecture: How People Are Creating Their Own Environment
Seller: Sell Books, Elland, YORKS, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
paperback. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
