Spurring the community involvement in planning - lessons from post-socialist cities
PublicationPublic participation and community involvement in planning processes is – in general – not a new topic for contemporary planners. But in many parts of the world – including the post-socialist countries like Poland or Russia – we can still face the lack of understanding of importance of proper community involvement in planning and development processes. Situation in these countries is significantly different from both highly-developed...
