New Book On DIY Urbanism (Oxford University Press)
The Help-Yourself City
Legitimacy and Inequality in DIY Urbanism
Gordon C.C. Douglas
- Combines cultural and urban sociology with urban planning, policy, and design scholarship
- Includes more than 100 interviews with do-it-yourself urban designers, planning and design professionals, and community members in 17 cities
- Appraises the under-studied and widely-celebrated trend of DIY urbanism to highlight the implications for urban planning, community development, and how everyday people engage with urban policy and urban space itself
