Community-Based Planning for Distressed Neighborhoods

While no magic formula exists for the arduous task of revitalizing distressed neighborhoods, community-based planning offers a highly participatory, and action-oriented, local-planning strategy for creating sustainable neighborhoods. The neighborhood-planning process presented in this handbook puts residents and local stakeholders at the center. It was produced by Rutgers University’s Community Development Institute (CDI) and the Network. The handbook offers helpful and practical information to practitioners and community leaders responsible for organizing and managing the planning process.
