Description

How is community built? It's more than roads and buildings—it's human connections.


Block suggests six kinds of conversation that can help you convene participatory processes to build a real sense of community, as well as design processes that foster a sense of belonging in your community's physical spaces. He examines citizenship and leadership, offering practical ideas for citizens, officials, and planners to transform fractured towns into real communities.
