This book shows you how to combine the best design principles of the past with the technological advances of the present to achieve a more satisfying community environment.

Anton Nelessen advocates design by democracy: involving citizens and public officals in planning and designing their own communities. He describes techniques planners can use to help residents create a common vision. Nelessen has successfully used these techniques — the Visual Preference Survey and Hands-on Model Building Workshop — in seminars and workshops for more than 25 years.
