American communities are changing fast: ethnic minority populations are growing, home ownership is falling, the number of people per household is going up, and salaries are going down. According to Marc Brenman and Thomas W. Sanchez, the planning field is largely unprepared for these fundamental shifts.
In Planning as if People Matter the authors provide practical solutions to make our communities more livable for residents of all races, ages, and income levels. The book addresses
topics such as stakeholder participation, disaster response, new technologies, and equity metrics. Unlike many academic treatments, it offers real-world reforms to improve the planning
process and promote social justice.
