The Placemaker's Guide to Building Community de Nabeel Hamdi

The Placemaker's Guide to Building Community: Earthscan Tools for Community Planning

Autor Nabeel Hamdi
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 23 apr 2010

În cadrul programelor de studii dedicate dezvoltării urbane și planificării regionale, The Placemaker's Guide to Building Community se poziționează ca un manual de referință care face trecerea de la teorie la practica responsabilă. Observăm că Nabeel Hamdi nu se limitează la o expunere academică, ci propune o schimbare de paradigmă: planificarea prin 'raționament invers'. Această abordare demonstrează cum politicile publice eficiente pot fi derivate direct din bunele practici de la firul ierbii, oferind o alternativă viabilă modelelor rigide de sus în jos. Cartea completează perspectiva teoretică oferită de The Routledge Handbook of Placemaking, adăugând un set de instrumente practice și o metodologie clară pentru lucrul direct cu comunitățile vulnerabile.

Ne-a atras atenția structura riguroasă a volumului, organizată în patru părți care ghidează cititorul de la înțelegerea conceptului de loc și timp, până la 'Codul Placemaker-ului'. Autorul integrează reflecții critice despre ascultarea activă și gestionarea 'haosului' inerent practicii pe teren. Dacă în lucrarea sa anterioară, Small Change, Hamdi sublinia puterea intervențiilor mici, în acest ghid el extinde viziunea către scalabilitate și reducerea dependenței comunităților de experți externi. Prin exemple concrete din zone afectate de dezastre naturale sau sărăcie urbană, volumul oferă soluții pentru arhitecți și urbaniști care doresc să devină facilitatori ai schimbării, nu doar proiectanți de structuri fizice.

Descriere scurtă

From the author of Small Change comes this engaging guide to placemaking, packed with practical skills and tools that architects, planners, urban designers and other built environment specialists need in order to engage effectively with development work in any context. Drawing on four decades of practical and teaching experience, the author offers fresh insight into the complexities faced by practitioners when working to improve the communities, lives and livelihoods of people the world over. This title shows how these complexities are a context for, rather than a barrier to, creative work.
The Placemaker's Guide to Building Community also critiques the single vision top down approach to design and planning. Using examples of successful professional practice across Europe, the US, Africa, Latin America and post-tsunami Asia, the author demonstrates how good policy can derive from good practices when reasoned backwards, as well as how plans can emerge in practice without a preponderance of planning. Reasoning backwards is shown to be a more effective and inclusive way of planning forwards with significant improvements to the quality of process and place. Nabeel Hamdi offers a variety of methods and tools for analyzing the issues, engaging with communities and other stakeholders for design and settlement planning and for improving the skills of all involved in placemaking. Ultimately the book serves as an inspiring guide, and a distillation of decades of practical wisdom and experience. The resulting practical handbook is for all those involved in doing, learning and teaching placemaking and urban development world-wide.

Recenzii

'Essential reading for effectively dealing with the challenges of urban poverty reduction by learning from a wealth of global experience.' - Mohamed El Sioufi, Head of the Shelter Branch, UN-HABITAT
'Nabeel Hamdi is a humane visionary who never forgets that it is the people, not the experts, who must have the loudest voices in the building of communities. This important book distils the work of a lifetime spent making the world a better place.' -Tim Smit, founder of the Eden Project, UK
'Hamdi again sets new benchmarks for his simplicity in approach, yet profundity in the underlying principles of participatory planning. Essential reading for anyone who thought they already knew everything about planning with communities.' -Manu Gupta, Director SEEDS, Chairperson, Asian Disaster Reduction & Response Network
'A must read for anyone who has a vested interest in the process of placemaking through participatory planning ... It provides through example the methods and tools for creating partnerships through participatory planning as agents of change.'- Professor Emeritus W. Mike Martin, University of California Berkeley, USA
'Based on Hamdi's extensive fieldwork in India, sir Lanka, Ecuador, Peru, South Africa and Thailand, this book will motivate development planners, Architects, and community organizers to not only learn from but also enjoy the uncertainties of the development process.' -Bish Sanyal, Ford International Professor of Urban Development and Planning and Director, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USA
'Filled with the coherent contradictions we never learned in design studio - 'scaling down to scale up - work backward to move forward'. Hamdi takes the reader on a transit walk through the reality of the bottom billion of the economic pyramid. It is this process of being present and attentive to the vision of the community that enables the best development workers to participate fully in the process of community based design in spite of our experience.' - Steven Weir, VP Global Program Development, Habitat for Humanity International, USA
'Overall, this easy-to-read book with a narrative style provides practical tools for urban designers, planners, architects, and other built-environment specialists.

'The Placemaker's Guide is an enjoyable and thought provoking read. It proposes a brave new world where people’s problems, needs and aspirations form the framework for design solutions.' - Jane Manning, Urban Design Group Journal
'In a book that is a compilation of his life's work and experiences, Nabeel Hamdi challenges the reader to rethink what constitutes place, who serves as the placemaker, how one creates place, and whether the lessons of the past can enable us to create sustainable and adaptable communities that nurture and are nurtured by the residents who inhabit them.' - Nina P. David, Journalof Planning Education and Research
